THINGS YOU PROBABLY NEVER KNEW YOUR MOBILE PHONE COULD DO
Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver or an emergency tool
The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112. If you find
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
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 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 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
