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

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

How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone?
To check your Mobile phone's serial number, key in the following Digits on

unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe.

thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless. You probably

use/sell it either. If everybody does this, there would be no point in
people stealing mobile phones.

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:
