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 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.
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 cell phone!"
THIRD
Hidden Battery Power - Imagine your cell battery is very low To
activate, press the keys *3370# Your cell will 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.
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.
FIFTH
Free Directory Service for Cells - 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. This is the kind of information people don't mind receiving, so
pass it on to your family and friends.
