5 Important Things That Your Cell Phone Can Do!

Did you know that there is a global emergency number you can dial for free or that there is hidden reserve battery power if needed? Check out these five important facts about your cell phone that can be done in times of emergencies.

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
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 
'remote' for your car, you can unlock the doors or the trunk).

Editor's Note: 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.

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.
