5 things you didn't know your old phone could do!

Any old phone (even if the service is turned off) can still dial 911. If you're taking a trip, have an old phone charged and keep it in the glove box or in your luggage in case you need to make the important call

Hubby needed a new alarm clock. I said "Use your phone." He said "No, the texts and calls wake me up." I said "No, use that old phone that doesn't have a phone connection any more." That is his alarm clock now sitting on his night stand. Maybe not as cool as the applications Liron was giving but hey, it works great as a simple alarm clock.

This is quite possibly the best darn tech channel on YT. No fluff, no bloat, no beating around the bush for 5 minutes, Liron gets right down to the nitty gritty everytime, and every video is always full of fantastic, useful info. That's so refreshing. I love the webcam and dashcam uses.

1. Can be a dedicated music player 2. It can be used to stream videos on TV via Chromecast. Works as a handy remote too. 3. If it is a smartphone, it can be used as Hotspot device for Wi-Fi

They all sound great but the dashcam one wins hands down for me. Thanks!

I use one of my old phones as an alarm clock. Airplane mode allows it to go for nearly a week between charges, and no worries about the power going out and resetting the time like a traditional clock might. 😍

Fate! A co-worker came to me , 'cause I am the techiest person around 😊, and asked about using a tablet as a second monitor. I told her I would look to see what I could find and two days later this pops up! Thank you so much!

I can imagine using most of these at once. Lounging on the couch for some down time, use one phone as keyboard/ mouse and another for remote monitor while another one is in dash-cam or security mode outside. You can see who's knocking at your door, send a command to start recording and save to desktop, maybe upload to the cloud or go live if it's "badguys" so they can't just destroy the evidence of their crime by stealing your phones and computer. LOL The possibilities are endless. I just need to find one of the dash-cam apps that supports looping recording so it doesn't stall out when the memory is full. It'll just start overwriting old vid. Great video here, sir.

The 6th thing you can use your old phone is to place it on a stack of papers to keep them from blowing away.

Alot of phones can be used as a Wifi Access point. Just connect a power transmitting USB Hub (I have a very simple USB-C hub that has power delivery), USB to Ethernet adapter and Ethernet from your stationary router. . Also many old phones are FM Radios. All you need is Power and any cable you plug into the headphone jack. Only needed as antenna....you can still switch to internal speakers.

After watching Liron video on OLD USB and this one, I have loaded about 60 GB of music on Old USB stick, stuck that into the back of my WiFi server, then I took old iPhone, connected to WiFi and then connected old phone jack to my kitchen dining room stereo and stream music from the OLD USB stick. You can also stream video or music from the internet (ie Netflix, PlutoTV, YouTube, WiFi or OLD USB stick) through the old phone and use an HDMI/Power adapter attached to the old phone lightening port to a television/monitor via the HDMI port. Works fantastic!

Legend. I did not know about any of these apps. This is why I am here, you are the best teacher around, and with all the things you have shown me, I am a better person. Brilliant video. Thank you, Liron.

I have been subscribed to you Liron for the last 2-3 yrs and your content has always been awesome. But I have to say that the info in this video just might be THE MOST HELPFUL video you have done yet! THANK YOU!!!

Fantastic video. All of these are very useful if a person has not yet discarded his old mobile. Using the mobile as dashcam is pretty genius. Will try that with my old mobile.

Much appreciated. I learned a lot. I am using "Meshtastic" and this means I can use an old cell to Bluetooth pair and operate. Great for hiking with friends where there is no cell service.

Liron, thank you for the video on data recovery, I lost a heap of music, with your video I retrieve everything, your gold

Wow! Completely awesome. I have so many old phones lyin' around. I'm totally setting up home cameras with all of them. Thanks for making this video!!

Hello Liron, I am a first-time viewer. Brilliant, bravo👏I enjoyed everything about your video from the content to the way you teach your viewers things we need to know to improve our lives. I am so happy your channel appeared on my YouTube Channels, I will be watching more of your videos. 👏

I use them also as a dedicated camera, mounted over a table for taking pics of items to sell, or cataloging personal inventory.

I use my old phones everyday for entertainment. Load them up with music/movies/videos/podcasts etc. and you never have to worry about draining your main phone's battery or how much data you are using. While out and about, it keeps you occupied. It also works great if your main phone is a work phone. Your employer doesn't need to know any of what you're doing on your phone.
