Cool cell phone feature

[TechnoKid]

i just found out that my cell phone's built in alarm clock feature will work even if the phone is turned off.

i guess the battery died overnight but had just enough juice to power the phone so the alarm would work.

I have a very old school (well by todays standards, everyone has color flip phones and whatnot) Nokia 3590.

oh well theres my useless post for the day.

I'll try that out with my phone today when i get home

 

[chuckywang]

me too. my cell phone alarm clock is easier to set than my real alarm clock.

 

[Kelemvor]

Mine has that too. Along with the tip calulator and a few misc games like the snake thing where it gets longer when it eats the little food things.

i'm looking to replace my free, 1 year old samsung E715 with a free Moto Razr V3 this weekend.

 

[cronos]

Seriously, where are you getting this deal? I am looking for a free phone/new contract.

 

[n0cmonkey]

Most of mine have worked like that.

My pre-paid Virgin Mobile Kyocera Slider? V5 *MTV Edition has an alarm clock, that little phone is loaded with features

Feels great not bein under contract, I got that thing 2 weeks ago and only used it 4 times

I always use my cell phone alarm clock on business trips. I don't trust hotel alarms, and the hotel phone ringing at 4am to wake me up is much more painful than my cell phone playing a mello song. Plus hotels have "forgotten" to call me in the past.
Even works when my cell is turned off. It turns itself on for the alarm.

I use my old retired nokia every day as an alarm clock, it's great. And the battery lasts about a month.

its probably a local deal. the cell phone shops in oakland chinatown has had the v3 for free with a new contract for a few weeks already.

Oh. Makes sense. In other words, head to your local chinatown to get the deal (yeah, somehow it happens in those areas)

Yeah but it also feels great not paying $0.25 per minute

i got my E715 a year ago for free from a chinatown phone shop. that was when it first came out and amazon wants >$250 for it. and even though the RAZR is a cingular phone, the shop will sell it for t-mobile service since it comes unlocked.

Just checked mine, I set the alarm and turned it off, works great!

Thanks, I'll definitely be using this in the future, it even has a sleep function!

 

[everman]

That could be useful if you anticipate needing an exit strategy from something...

Yep - I have one of those prepay phones too and I love it. It's perfect for someone that doesn't use a cell much.
