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:
FIRST
Subject: 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.
(I have entered in my cell phone number
directory.)
SECOND
Subject: 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).
Editor's Note: It works fine! We tried
it out and it
unlocked our car over a cell phone!"
THIRD
Subject: 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. (I have entered the access #
in cell phone directory.)
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. And
Finally....(I have made
note of my phone's serial number.
FIFTH
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. (I have entered
this # in my
cell phone directory.)
This is the kind of information people
don't mind
receiving, so pass it on to your family
and friends.
