FOUR THINGS YOU PROBABLY NEVER KNEW YOUR MOBILE 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.     
       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 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).                                                                      
                                                            
                           THIRD                           
                     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.             
                                                                                                                      
                           FOURTH                          
                       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.
