5 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
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 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 *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.
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.

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
