Cell phone secrets:
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. Check out the things that you
can do with it:
FIRST
Subject: 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 establ ish the emergency number for you, and
interestingly this number 112 can be dialed even if the keypad
is locked. Try it out.
SECOND
Subject: 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
Subject: Hidden Battery Power
Imagine your cell battery is very low. To activate, pressthe
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
Subject: 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 ba ck, 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.

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.
