> 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 locked your keys in the car?>> Does your car have remote keyless entry? This may come in handy someday.> Good reason to own a mobile 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 mobile 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 Hidden Battery Power>> 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 a STOLEN mobile phone?>> To check your Mobile phone's serial number, key in the following digits on> your phon! e: * # 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
