5 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
The Emergency Number worldwide
for Mobile is 112 (999).
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).

and it unlocked our car over a cell phone!"
THIRD

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. OK Mel And Finally.... FIFTH
Free Directory Service for Cells.
Cell phone companies are charging us $1.00 to
$1.75 or more for 411information 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. This is the kind of
information people don't mind receiving, so pass
it on to your family and friends.
