>THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW YOUR CELL PHONE COULD DO:
>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 for 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
>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 cell phone!"
>
>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 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.
>And Finally..
>
>FIFTH
>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.
>
>This is the kind of information people don't mind

receiving, so pass it on
>to your family and friends.>

is not an act, but a habit."
