Swapping between bluetooth headphones and internal speaker
I have just bought some bluetooth headphones and paired them with my phone. So, now the audio comes out of the headphones. That's great most of the time, but what if I want to use the phone's speaker for a bit? There must be a setting to change, other than unpairing the headphones?

Calling a foreign telephone cheaply?
Any suggestions for a service enabling one to call a telephone in a foreign country (in a region where the internet is not available and where text messaging is blocked)?

TV mounts that move vertically?
Hi, I have ordered a TV recently and I am now looking into wall mounts to buy. One of the things that worries me most is that I don't set the height to mount the TV at the optimum level and then I'll have to live with it forever.
