4
Things you might not have known about your Cell Phone
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
(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 re-charge your cell phone next
time.
THIRD
(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 is 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...
FOURTH
(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:
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.
