ATTN: All Mobile Phone Users!
 

THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW YOUR CELLPHONE 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:



*I*
* The Emergency Number worldwide for **Mobile** is 112.
* If you find yourself out of 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.**


*II*
* Subject: Have you locked your keys in the car? Does you car have remote
keys?*
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). *
Editor's Note:* *It works fine! We tried it out and it unlocked our car over
a cell phone!"*


*III* *
Subject: Hidden** **Battery** power*
Imagine your cell battery is* **very low* , you are expecting an*
**important
call* and you don't have a charger.* **Nokia instrument comes with a reserve
* *battery.* To activate, press the keys* ***3370#* Your cell 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 next time.

AND

*IV* *
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.

Please spread this useful information around...*
