4 THINGS YOU PROBABLY NEVER
KNEW YOUR MOBILE 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 mobile 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).
THIRD Hidden Battery Power
Imagine your mobile battery is
very low. To activate, press the
keys *3370# Your mobile will
restart with this reserve and the
instrument will show a 50%
increase in battery. This reserve
will get charged when you charge
your mobile 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.
This is the kind of information
people don't mind receiving, so
pass it on to your family and
friends
