Trick to get (almost) free International call on AT&T cellphones

  1. Subscribe to Skype, set automatic withdrawal from your credit card
  2. Activate Skype To-Go service and select a local number from its list (US)
  3. Goto www.att.com/wireless and activate "A-List" feature/service (which is free).  Please remember that this service is only available if you have family plan and/or $60/month or more in monthly bill.
  4. Add the Skype To-Go number in A-List
  5. Now you're ready to make an international calls for a very cheap from your cellphone.  Just call the Skype To-Go number and follow voice instruction to dial in an international numbers.  You will only pay Skype calls (which is damned cheap, for example to call to Jakarta it's only 4c/minute).  That's it!

CLIE UDEV RULES to support pilot device in Linux

Content of my udev rules to have /dev/pilot whenever my Sony CLIE NX70 PDE is syncing:

my-desktop:/dev/.udev/rules.d$ cat 10-local.rules

SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{product}=="Palm Handheld", KERNEL=="ttyUSB*", SYMLINK+="pilot"

On my Ubuntu 10.04 Karmic, actually there's a rule definition already written, but it is missing SYMLINK.  Below is my modified rule file.

Small script to build Linux Kernel

Make sure we have busybox, otherwise install it:


sudo apt-get install busybox


And then save the following lines to o file and execute it:


VERSION=2.6.34-p4
make
make modules && sudo make modules_install
sudo make install
sudo mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-${VERSION} ${VERSION}
