It is necessary
- - TV or radio
- - telephone, landline or cell
- - a computer or communicator connected to the Internet
Instructions
Step 1
Turn on your radio or TV. Most radio stations, especially serious ones, report the exact time at the beginning of every hour. Central TV channels show screensavers depicting a clock before news broadcasts, a number of TV channels show informers with the exact time and weather in the region in one of the corners of the screen all the time.
Step 2
Make a call to the telephone service for the exact time of your city. You can find the telephone number of this service in the telephone directory. If there is no such service in your city, call the service in another city. However, in this case, you will have to pay for long distance telephone services. Your answering machine will tell you the exact time in the telephone service. If you don't have a landline phone, you can call this number on your cell phone. But it would be better to call the operator's help desk first. It is possible that your operator itself provides a service for determining the exact time, and this service will cost you much less.
Step 3
Use Internet services to determine the exact time. There are many of them and they are all free. The advantages of this method are that you can find out the exact time anywhere in the world, and not just at your place of stay. Go to one of these sites, select the region you are interested in and see the result. Also, if you wish, you can quickly calculate the time difference between your city and another by activating the corresponding service function.
Step 4
Install on your smartphone or communicator a specialized application (widget) that shows the exact time. This application will receive data from the Internet using GPRS, EDGE or a 3G connection in accordance with the tariffs of your mobile operator, and as a result, the exact time of the region you are interested in will always be on the screen of your phone. Some widgets show weather data and other information in addition to time. The applications themselves can be found and downloaded on the Internet for free or for a small fee. The detailed installation mechanism depends on the technical features of your phone model. For details, check with the application developer or other users of this program.
