Useful Mobile Phone Tips
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:
1
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 dialled even if the
keypad is locked. Try it out.

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 mobile
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: It works
fine! We tried it out and it unlocked our car over a mobile phone!"

Hidden Battery Power
Imagine
your mobile battery is very low. To activate, press the keys *3370# Your mobile
will restart with this reserve and the instrument will show a 50% increase in
battery. This reserve will get charged when you charge your mobile next
time.

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 stole it can't use/sell it either. If everybody
does this, there would be no point in people stealing
mobile phones
