Handphone ownership in Singapore has become increasingly prevalent in recent years. Not only has this resulted in a vibrant handphone resale industry, in which handphones are bought and sold via secondhand dealers, but handphones have also become a target for thieves.
The Handphone IMEI Tracing System (HITS), an online handphone screening service, was developed and launched in 2006 to deter handphone thieves from selling off stolen handphones to secondhand dealers and the public. HITS system uses each handphone’s unique International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number to identify handphones which have been reported stolen.
Where screenings could only be done via the Internet previously (accessible via Police’s e-Services webpage), the HITS system has now been enhanced to allow for screenings to be easily done via Short-Message-Service (SMS) as well.
Members of the public and secondhand dealers can easily check if the secondhand phones they are about to purchase have been reported stolen or lost via the Internet and SMS. Through this enhancement, the Police hope to deter handphone related crimes by providing a more convenient and effective avenue for members of the public to perform IMEI screening.

I’m sure you came across different phone numbers, especially the 1800 ones, which consist of meaningful words such as 1800-CALL-LTA. There are a few services on the Internet that help you “spell” your phone number.
The PhoneSpell enables you to enter a 7 or 8 digit phone number and it’ll show you what words and phrases your phone number spells to help you decide if you want to keep it. It’ll be very useful if you run a business so that you can share with your customers.

INQ is claimed to be the first social mobile phone that put instant messaging, email, VoIP and social networking at the heart of the phone. Let’s take a look how social it is.
Facebook for INQ is built right into the heart of the INQ. Facebook friends show up in the INQ contacts list. Messages, pokes and requests drop in the phone’s inbox. Keep up with every conversation, wherever you are.
You can see their latest photo and status, or message, post or poke them all directly from the phone’s contacts list. Staying connected never felt easier.
This is a feature I love most: INQ sends photos from your camera straight to Facebook. Receive a call from a Facebook friend and the INQ displays their latest Facebook profile picture. So if your friends have a new look, you’ll know before you speak to them. [click to continue…]

If you are about to buy a new phone, you probably consider trading-in your old mobile phones. Check the mobile phone trade-in prices at different telco companies in Singapore:
Of course, trading-in is probably not the best price you can get to “dump” your old mobile phone. Check with local phone shops or post it online (forums or classified ads websites) unless you can’t be bothered with that “little” money.
