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. Just check out all the things you can do!
Emergency Situations - Out of Coverage
The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobileis 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.
Have you ever 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. It saves the hassle of someone driving your keys to you.
Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles away and as long as you can reach someone who has the other "remote" or your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk)!
It works fine! We tried it out and it
unlocked our car over a cell phone!"
Phone Out Of Juice? Imagine your cell battery is very low. To activate, press
the keys *3370# Your cell will automatically 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.
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. If your phone gets stolen, you can
call your service provider and give them this code.
They will 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.... |

Get the 411
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. You have to sit through an advertisement…and the audio isn’t the greatest when it asks for location and listing…but hey, what else do you expect for a big fat goose egg?
