11 iPhone Tricks You Might Not Have Known

Whether you're an iPhone rookie or a weathered pro, take a look at these quick-and-easy iPhone tips and tricks which not only save you time, but ease your overall iPhone experience.

Scroll to Top of Page -

In any application, Safari included, you can automatically scroll to the top of the page by tapping on the "top bar", which has the time, service bars, and battery. In Safari, this not only brings you to the top of the page, but also brings up the URL bar.


2. Domain Resolution -

When typing a URL in Safari, you don't have to type the "www" or the ".com".For instance, for www.cnn.com just type "cnn" in the URL box. Note: Your search engine must be set to Google, not Yahoo.



3. Domain Suffix - [On firmware 2.0 only]

Hold down the ".com" key for ".net, .edu, .org" keys. Note: Slide your finger from .com to .net/.edu/.org, rather than lifting and pressing.



4. Press & Hold For Alternate Characters -

Hold a letter for a popup of various versions of the character (i.e. to type España with the "ñ" simply hold "n" and simply slide/release to the appropriate character).

5. Click & Hold URL's -

In Safari, hold a link to see the URL and site name.



6. Soft Reset -

Press and hold the Home button and the Sleep button to restart your iPhone. A white light will flash, the screen will shut off and then turn back on. Keep holding until the screen turns back on.




7. Take a Screenshot -

To take a screenshot, hold the home button and click the sleep button. The screen will flash white and the screenshot will be stored in your camera roll.



8. Set Parental Controls -

You can enable certain restrictions or parental controls on your iPhone. You can block explicit lyrics, Safari, YouTube, iTunes, or the App Store. Just go to Settings, General, Restrictions.

9. Save Any Image from Safari -

To save any image from the web to your camera roll, simply press and hold the image. A menu will appear asking "Save Image" or "Cancel". Once the image is in your camera roll, you can set it as your wallpaper.

10. Fast Forward/Rewind Music & Video -

Press and hold the skip forward/back arrows to fast forward or rewind rather than skip tracks. Also, press on the album art to manually FF/rewind.


11. Delete Emails -

You can do both "bulk deletes" and "individual deletes" when browsing email. To do a bulk delete, simply click Edit, check off the desired emails, and then choose delete or move. To delete a single email, simply "cross it out" by swiping your finger across the email, then press delete.

call worldwide free from pc to any phone

GizmoCall a SIPphone service has launched a new web-based voice-over-IP (VoIP) service that will allow users making phone calls directly from their web browser. It all based on Flash.


I wonder how many other websites do that. It doesnt seem Jajah used Flash. However, I am not able to find any real difference in using Flash Plugin to make a call. I will do some study and testing and will post some results.

Back to the news, The web based interface allows the users to enter the enter in international format such as (+12221112121) and then click Call. If you dont have a flash plug-in installed (first time users), then it will ask you to install the plug-in. Just install and it will automatically recognise it. Then the call is sent out to the number you wanted to call.

You need to use headphones (or speaker) and mic to talk.



According to the website, Users get five minutes of calling per day to just about any phone number and can double that if they register with an email address. For more calls, users can purchase Call Out minutes. Besides PSTN phones they can call for free google talk users, Windows Live users, Gizmo Project users and any other SIP address/device.

This sounds too good to be true.

How To Make Free Calls to any phone via internet

If you have been looking for a totally free service which allows calling local and international phone via internet... well then i am sure that your seach ends here. Flashphone.ru is a newly launced website which is under beta testing, this site provides a free service by which you can call any international number via your computer. Also the sound quality is excellent

How it works ? Its very simple... you register at this site via a valid email address, then log in, It then takes you to a webpage with a flash phone dialer (refer the image alongside).. Dial in the number you want to call and connect the call and talk, its really as simple as that. Any Catch ?? Well as of now when the site is under beta testing, it allows you to make maximum 3 calls a day with 3mins maximum (each call). Hope to see them increase this in the future. I would highly recommend you to check this site and its service. Here is the link

And moreover You don't need to install anything. All that is necessary for calls - headset and sufficient bandwidth of your internet connection. Never before the IP-telephony was such simple and accessable.
