30 things to do with your phone before 2007: 11-20

ansa11.JPG11. Cheat in a pub quiz by sending a question via text message to the new ANSA Q&A service. Be aware that every other team is probably doing the same, mind.

12. Turn your smartphone into a streaming webcam. Just don’t get mucky.

13. Sync your Google calendar with your mobile using ZYB, as well as backing up your contacts. If you lose your phone in a raucous New Year’s Eve party, you’ll thank us for this.

14. Watch a few minutes of Player X’s Geek TV, and make sure you dive over a car bonnet while watching the Miami Vice bits.

15. Hook up with an attractive member of the opposite sex using mobile dating service CherrySource. Warning: it’s a bit fruity, so wallflowers probably shouldn’t apply. Then again, maybe it’s just what you need!

16. Get the infamous South Park Greenpeace ringtone, and weep hot, salty tears of admiration of Cartman’s crab-based guitar solo.

17. Ask an expert why you’ve gone green and got shooting pains since Christmas, using the Health-SMS service. Our opinion: you’ve overdone it on the sprouts.

18. Send a friend a text message from Skype rather than from your phone. And see how impressed they are. Or not.

19. Watch Sky’s mobile coverage of this week’s Ashes test. Okay, so this one’s just for masochists.

20. Download some Austen, Dickens or Conan Doyle onto your mobile, via the ICUE mobile books application. Culture, innit.
