5 THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW YOUR CELL PHONE COULD DO
There are a few things that can be done intimes 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 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 %26quot;remote%26quot; for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk). Editor%26#039;s Note: It works fine! We tried it out and it unlocked our car over a cell phone!%26quot;
THIRD
Hidden Battery Power
Imagine your cell battery is very low. 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.
FOURTH
How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone?
To check your Mobile phone%26#039;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%26#039;t get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can%26#039;t use/sell it either. If everybody does this, there would be no point in people stealing mobile phones.
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%26#039;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.|||The first one works in some areas of the world.
The second is FAKE. There%26#039;s no way a cell phone can transmit and reproduce an RF signal from an alarm transmitter. (http://www.snopes.com/autos/techno/keyle鈥?/a> , http://www.breakthechain.org/exclusives/鈥?/a> )
The third only works with some phones, but is not exactly unleashing hidden battery power.
The fourth works on most phones to get your IMEI number, but cell phone carriers already have it in their system.
The fifth is true.|||I know the fourth and fifth ones are true. I%26#039;m not sure about the others though. It cant hurt to try them.|||My girlfriend I%26#039;ve known 1/2 my life still emails me from time to time, and told me about the 112 thing.........
