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 Mobiles 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). Editor's
Note: It works fine! We tried it out and it unlocked our car over a cell phone!"
THIRD: Hidden Battery Power Imagine your cell battery is very low.
To activate, press the keys *4720# 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. This works only on cell phones that provide
the option, like Nokia. Check your owner's manual.
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....
FIFTH: Free Directory Service for Cells 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, except
for minutes used.
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
