For all the folks who have cellphones. (This should be printed and kept in your car, purse, and wallet. Good information to have you.)
There are few things that can be done in times of grave emergencies. Your mobile phone can be a life saver or an emergency tool for survival. Check out the things that you can do with it.
1st: Emergency
The Emergency Number worldwide for mobile is 112. if you find yourself out of 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.
2nd: Have you locked your keys in the car?
Does your car have a remote keyless entry? this may come in handy someday. good reason to own a cellphone: if you lock you keys in the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their cellphone from your cellphone. hold your cellphone about a foot form your car door and have the person at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the mobile phoneon their en. 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 door (or the trunk).
editor's note: it works fine! we tried it out and it unlocked our, our car over a cellphone
3rd: Hidden Battery Power
Imagine your cell battery is very low. to activate, press the keys *3370#. your cellphone will restart with this reserve and the instrument will show a 50% increase in battery. this reserve will get charged when you charge your cellphone next time.
4th: How to disable a stolen mobile phone?
to check your mobile phone's number, key in the following
digits on your phone: *#06#. a 15-digit code will appear on the screen. this number is unique to your handset. write down and keep it somewhere safe. when your phone get stolen, you can phone your service provider and give 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 atleast 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.
5th: Free directory service for cells
cellphone 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 telephone directory in our vehicle, which makes tis situation even more of a problem. when you need to use the 411 information.
option, simply dial : (800)FREE411, or (800)373-3411 without incurring any charge at all. prgram this into your cellphone now.
