THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW YOUR CELL PHONE COULD DO

There are a few things that can be done in times of grave emergencies. Your

mobile phone can actually be a life saver or an emergency tool for survival.

Check out the things that you can do with it:

 

 

1. Emergency

The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112. If you find yourself out

of the coverage area of your mobile; network and there is an emergency, dial

112, and the mobile will search any existing network to establish the

emergency number for you. Interestingly, this number, 112, can be dialed

even if the keypad is locked. Try it out.

 

 

2. Have you locked your keys in the car?

Does your car have remote keyless entry? This may come in handy someday.

If

you lock your keys in the car, and the spare keys are at home, call someone

at home on their cell phone from your cell phone. Hold your cell phone

about

a foot from your car door and have the person at your home press the unlock

button, holding it near the mobile phone on their end. Your car will

unlock.

Saves someone from having to drive your keys to you. Distance is no object.

You could be hundreds of miles away, but if you can reach someone who has

the

other "remote" for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk).

Editor's Note: "It works fine! We tried it out, and it unlocked our car over

a cell phone!"

 

 

3. Hidden Battery Power

Imagine your cell battery is very low. To activate, press the keys  *3370#

Your cell will restart with this reserve, and the instrument will show a 50%

increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when you charge your

cell

the next time.

 

 

4. How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone?

To check your Mobile phone's serial number, key in the following digits on

your phone: *#06#

A 15 digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to your

handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe. If your phone gets

stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this code. They

will then be able to block your handset so even if the thief changes the SIM

card, your phone will be totally useless.

You probably won't get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever

stole it can't use/sell it either. If everybody does this, there would be

no

point in people's stealing mobile phones.

 

 

5. Free Information Calls

Cell phone companies are charging us $1.00 to $1.75 or more for 411

information calls when they don't have to.

Most of us do not carry a telephone directory in our vehicle, which makes

this situation even more of a problem. When you need to use the 411

information option, simply dial: (800) FREE 411, or (800) 373-3411 without

incurring any charge at all. Program this into your cell phone now.

This is the kind of information people don't mind receiving, so pass it on

to

your family and friends.
