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:
One: 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.
Two : Keyless entry
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!'
Three: 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.
Four: 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
