5 Amazing things that your cell phone can do!
These little known secrets may save you money... or save
your life
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. 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 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.
