• Fwd: Cell Phone Tricks

  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:

  
  

       FIRST
       Subject: 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 fo r you, and interestingly
       this number 112 can be dialed even if the keypad is locked.
       Try it out.

  
  

       SECOND
       Subject: 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).

  
  

       THIRD
       Subject: 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
       Subject: 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 stol! e it can 't use/sell
       it either.  If everybody does this, the re wou ld be no point
       in people stealing mobile phones.

  
  

       FIFTH
       Subject: 411 calls
       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) FREE 411, or (800) 373-3411 without
       incurring any charge at all. Program this into your cell
       phone now.

  
  

  (I have heard from a few peeps that the second one actually works, but I keep forgetting to try it myself.)
