Android models from Straight are only on the Sprint network as of Jan 2012 which means service is limited to areas that Sprint serves.
As an alternative consider one of the Nokia smart phonemodels. While not having all the Android flash and eye candy they’re quite capable smart phones.
Does my Straight Talk phone run on Verizon, AT&T, or Sprint?
This is easy to figure out. Currently all phone’s who’s model number ends in “C” is a CMDA phone which means Verizon. If your model number ends in “G” it’s on AT&T. Currently (as of Jan 2012), all Andriod powered phones from Straight Talk run on Sprint.
Model number ends in:
C = Verizon
G= AT&T
Android Phone: Sprint
Straight Talk has two simple plans a low price points for all their phones. Certain smart phones require the unlimited plan
Straight Talk All You Need plan: $30. This plan includes 1000 minutes of talk time, 1000 texts, 30MB of data, and free calls to 411 for 30 days.
Straight Talk Unlimited Plan: $45. This plan includes unlimited calls, text, data, and 411 calls for 30 days.
There are also 6 month and 3 month unlimited plans available at a discount for bulk buying.
If you’re looking for the appdata folder in Windows maybe to copy over your Filezilla sites, the old %appdata% trick in the search box doesn’t work. The trick still works in the run dialog. Open up a Run box (Win Key + R), type %appdata% and press enter, your appdata folder will open.
That was easy!
If you’re anything like you me you have tons of bookmarks that you save to “read later”. I don’t know about you but my read it later folder had over 500 items in it as of two hours ago. I whacked it down to about 50 using the Send To Kindle Email Feature.
The process is pretty simple. I simply used Google Chrome’s built-in Print to PDF feature to “print” the web page to a PDF file then emailed that file to my Kindle’s private address which syncs the PDF to my Kindle.
This won’t help you actually surf the web while offline. You cannot comment on blog posts for instance nor like the page on Facebook but you read what you wanted to read. This will be very convenient for me.
Most of the stuff I save to read later is either long form or overly technical perfect for reading when stuck in a waiting room somewhere. Heck, it might even allow me to spend less on books from Amazon!
PDF is short for Portable Document Format. In short, PDF is universal; A document that displays the same on any device that supports reading PDFs and pretty much every device from your smart phone (even some dumb phones) to your tablet and computer can display PDF files.
Content creators use PDF files to insure all text and images get displayed the same everywhere.
You can create PDF files easily in office suites like Microsoft Office and Open Office. If you are using a Mac, OS X has a “Print to PDF” function built-in. You can using that in any application by opening the Print Dialog (command P for short)
Google’s Chrome browser has a built-in PDF “printer”. Create a PDF file of any website by simply selecting Print from the wrench menu and select “Print to PDF” as your destination printer.
There is also a way to generate a PDF from any program that can print. You do this by installing a virtual printer. This basically tricks the program into printing to a file instead of a real printer. I’ve always used Primo PDF for this functionality.
Your done! Have a better way? Sound off in the comments.
