5 THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW YOUR CELL PHONE COULD DO
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 key-less 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
Hidden Battery Power
Imagine your cell battery is very low but has a hidden battery reserve. To activate it, 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'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 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.
And Finally..
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'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.
