Escape a Bad Date
Popularity Dialer - have you ever been in a situation where you wished your cell phone would ring? No need to rely on a sibling or a buddy to get you out of trouble.. simply call submit a request on popularitydialer.com providing specifically what time and type of call to recieve! It's cool how they've got a 'return to office' and 'cousin in need' type of call options! This could've spared me from calling my brother during a nightmare date.

Name That Tune!
411song.com - hear a song you're just dying to identify? Well now you can call up 866-411-SONG and simply hold your cellphone up to the speaker for at least 15 seconds and a SMS will show up with the relevant information. Now it does cost a buck a call but cmon sometimes its worth it!

Amber Alerts
WirelessAmberAlerts.org - self explanatory I think.. SAVE CHILDREN! Service now allows you to punch in upto five zip codes you want alerts sent to you if a child is abducted within. They send the alerts free of charge, but naturally if your cellphone has a lousy plan where you get charged for messages.. upgrade it!
