The reason why Google being one of the best search engine today is because of their smart robot that is programmed to crawl and index tons of pages together with their excellent algorithm in returning relevant search results to searchers. Googlebot is well known for indexing whatever it finds unless it is specifically blocked using robots.txt or the meta noindex tag on the webpage. Even though Google.com only shows a box where you can type the keywords that you want to search and Google will try its best to determine what are you looking for, you can actually use search operator commands to have more control over the results that will be displayed on your browser.

The search commands are definitely useful especially if you’re trying to check the linkbacks to your website, to have an idea if Google has completely removed a website from their search engine probably due to violation of their guidelines and etc. It can get a little dangerous because a specially crafted search command would reveal a list of websites with live streaming webcam, serial numbers or even password files.

With applications such as WhatsApp, Viber, Skype and etc for smartphones, many people get to save a lot of money because the messages sent and received from the apps are virtually free. However these applications rely on the data plan and not the mobile network. If there is no Internet connection on the smartphone, the messages cannot be sent nor received which could result in the delay of receiving the message.

Although SMS are more reliable compared to the messaging apps for smartphones, there are times when the SMS gateway server cannot cope up with the load such as on Christmas. It is important not to pass urgent messages via SMS or messaging apps but you should call them instead to relay the message yourself.

As previously said that the SMS are sometimes more reliable than messaging apps, but it cost money to send a single message to a contact. There used to be a method where you can send SMS using your email but most of the mobile providers has disabled that feature due to abuse. You can find a lot of websites that claims to offer free SMS service but unfortunately most of them don’t work.

You can try sending a test SMS message to yourself and you probably won’t get it which makes you think if they’re collecting mobile numbers for spamming purposes. After testing a bunch of websites, we finally found one that is able to send SMS for free!

Everywhere you go online, it seems that somebody is asking for your email address whether there’s a valid reason for it or not. This can range from newsgroups, mailing lists or discussion boards, to shopping or voucher sites or simply to download a piece of freeware. Everybody wants it because they know how valuable it can be. The problem is, every time you give out your email address, you run the risk of being bombarded with spam, even if you think you have opted out.  You might be able to unsubscribe from some of these messages, but sometimes it can take weeks to get off the mailing list, or more often than not the option just doesn’t work at all. But thankfully there’s a solution by using disposable or temporary email addresses.

The general idea is for the temporary email address to be created and remain active long enough for you to receive a reply from whoever the address was given to. Then you don’t have to use it again. If you’re trying to signup for message board or streaming/sharing logins, it’s also worth checking sites like ButMeNot or Share Your Pass to see if somebody has already shared one you can use. The downside is anyone can login to the address you create without a password, even another user who accidentally creates the same name. This means for privacy reasons you shouldn’t send anything personal or private through them.

Make sure you are not using common names like Raymond, and use more obscure ones such as Raymondcc2468cc where possible. A few sites do not offer you the choice of login name and they randomly generate a username for you, some others will offer password protection for the account which offers better privacy. Below are 15 websites that offer free temporary email services along with what each service has to offer. They are listed in no particular order.
