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). Editor's Note: It works fine!
We tried it out and it unlocked our car over a mobile
phone!"


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
