Four things worth knowing

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  lockedyour 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                              HiddenBatteryPower

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 aSTOLENmobilephone

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
