    Handy Dandy tips thread

    I'm sure a few of us know a "little something" that makes life easier, or cheaper, or in some cases both. List them here so we can all enjoy the benefits.

    Here's mine... Vodaphone users...

    • text "r" to 901
    You'll get a text back confirming an email address that will be forwarded to your phone (i.e. you send an email to nnnnnnnnn@sms.vodafone.net.nz and it magically appears on your cellyphone.

    I suspect it might be really cheap too...

    Yup! I think it works out at around 20c per email, same as texting. Be careful with giving out that email, as if somebody doesn't like you (or you get signed up to a spammer haha) they can rack up a fairly large bill for you just by sending (free for them) emails to your phone.

    Useful; rigged it up with a few scripts on my server, so I get a text if there's trouble at th' mill.

    Cheers - didn't realise there was a cost on it - I heard it was a back door (calm down carver - not that back door..)

    What was the Welliwood text parking trick - something about changing the last digit to alter the costs?

    Doesnt seem to work

    Tried the 'r' thing

    Got a "your address is..." message back

    But sending to that address bounces back as "user unknown"

    Maybe it needs a while for the address to propagate.
