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:
NUMBER 1
The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile Phones is 112.
If you find yourself out of coverage area of your mobile network & there is an emergency, dial 112 & 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!!
NUMBER 2
Have you locked your keys in the car? (This is really cool)
Does your car have remote keys? This may come in handy someday.
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 & have the person at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the mobile phone on their end. Your car will unlock!!
This saves someone from having to drive your keys to you. Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles away!!!
Editor's Note: It works fine! We tried it out & it unlocked our car over a cell phone!
NUMBER 3
Hidden Battery power
Imagine your cell battery is very low, you are expecting an important call and you don't have a charger.
Nokia phones come with a reserve battery.
To activate, press the keys *3370#... Your cell will restart with this reserve and the phone will show a 50% increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when you charge your cell next time.
NUMBER 4
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 & keep it somewhere safe. If your phone gets stolen, you can phone your service provider & 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.
Please spread this useful information around !!!
