0800 numbers are great, as it makes phoning up a call centre to complain free!

As we all know, complaining to our internet provider/phone company/gas provider is not a joy, but the privilege of not paying makes it a great way to spend an evening, as well as get any problems fixed.

However, these 0800 (and 0500/0808) numbers do cost money when dialling from a mobile, which means no shouting whilst on public transport or in the bath without incurring charges of up to 40p per minute.

Also, the networks do not include your free minutes in these calls, so there was no easy way to avoid big mobile bills…until now!

0800 Buster (www.0800buster.co.uk) has a bunch of landline numbers which you can call and then be rerouted to the relevant freephone service. This means all the 0800 calls on a mobile an be charged at local rate, and even free if you get included minutes on your tariff!

Simply go to the site, use the (randomly generated) number given at the top left, then ring your 0800 number when prompted, and press # to call!

Now, to call my electric company. There’s been no juice in Wembley since 6am!

Big ups to MixSynth for sending us these these tips to make the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic even more friendly…with Facebook status updates! There are a few steps, but now you can keep tabs on your mates wherever you are…

ON YOUR COMPUTER

1. Log in to Facebook
2. Go to the Facebook profile of the friend you want updates from.
3. Look at your browser’s address bar; note down your friend’s “id” number (the number to the right of the letters “?id=”)
4. Type the following in your browser’s address bar and hit Enter: http://www.facebook.com/minifeed.php?filter=11
5. Add the letters “&id=” to the end of the text in the address bar, followed by your friend’s “id” number; hit Enter
6. Click the orange “RSS” icon in the address bar (Firefox) or tab bar (Internet Explorer)
7. You should see a feed of your friend’s most recent status updates; if not, try again from step 1
8. Note down the entire URL of the feed in the address bar; it should look something like this: http://www.facebook.com/feeds/status.php?id=XXXXXXXX&viewer=XXXXXXXX&key=XXXXXXXXXX&format=rss20 (where X’s are random numbers/letters)

ON YOUR 5800 XpressMusic

9. Select your friend in the Contacts Bar and press the “three lines” button
10. Press “Edit web feeds” then “Add web feed”
11. Change the “Title” to “XXX Facebook Status” or something similar (where XXX is your friend’s name)
12. Enter the URL of the feed you noted down where it says “Web address” and press “Done”
13. Your friend’s most recent status update should now be displayed when you select their icon from the Contacts Bar; if not, check you entered the feed URL correctly; you might also need to restart the phone

Repeat the above steps for up to four contacts in your Contacts Bar.

Don’t forget to refresh the feeds (RSS icon with “reload” arrows next to it) whenever you want to check for updates.

Cheers Mixsynth! Another cool way to use the “Human Interface” that Nokia was so excited about…
