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.
First 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, and interestingly this number 112 can be dialed even if the keypad is locked.
Try it out.
Second
Have you locked your keys in the car? Does your car have remote keyless
entry? This may come in handy someday. Good reason to own a cell phone:
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, and if you can reach someone who has
the other 'remote' for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk).
(Bill and I tried this and it DID unlock the car doors!)
Third
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 next time.
Fourth
How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone?
To check your Mobile phone's serial number, key in the following digits on your
phone: * # 0 6 # A 15 digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique
to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe. When your phone
get 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 stealing mobile phones.

simply dial: (800) FREE 411, or (800) 373-3411 without incurring any charge
at all. Program this into your cell phone now.
