God Bless You,
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 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
Have you locked your keys in the car?
Does your car have remote keylessentry? 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).. It also
works with a land line.
Editor's Note: It works fine! We tried it out and it unlocked our
car over a cell phone!'
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 this, 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 use 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.
