Just thought you'd like to know this information!


5 Things You Never Knew What Your Cell Phone Could Do
For all the folks with cell phones: This should be printed and kept in your car, purse, and wallet. Good information to have with you.

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 phone 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 phone next time.


FOURTH: How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone?

To check your Mobile phones' serial number, key in the following
Digits on your cell phone:*#06#      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.

And Finally...

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) FREE411, or (800) 373-3411
without incurring any charges 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
.
