5 Things You Never Knew Your Cell Phone Could Do (This should
be printed and kept in your car, purse, and wallet. Good information to have
with you.) For all the folks with cell / mobile phones, 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, and 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. 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). TRY IT NOW!
3) Hidden Battery Power
Imagine your cell battery is very low. To activate, press the keys
*3370#. Your cell phone 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 phone 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 stealing mobile phones.
5) Free Directory Service for Cells
Cell phone companies are charging us $1.00 to $1.75 or
more for 411 information calls, to get it FREE
Simply dial: (800)FREE411 , 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.
