5 Things You Never Knew 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 wi ll 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! '
NOTE from KAREN: Gary and I tried this and it does really work.
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 phone ' s serial number, key in the following
Digits
on your 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.
If your phone gets 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 thi s, 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 us e the 411 information option, simply
dial: (800)FREE411, 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.
