Things you never knew your mobile phone can do.

5 THINGS YOU PROBABLY NEVER KNEW YOUR MOBILE 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: 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...
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
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! THIRD: 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. 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 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. FIFTH : ATM - PIN Number
Reversal - Good to Know
If you should ever be forced by a robber to
withdraw money from an ATM machine, you can
notify the police by entering your PIN # in reverse.
For example, if your pin number is 1234,
then you would put in 4321. The ATM system recognizes that your
PIN number is
backwards from the ATM card you placed in the
machine. The machine will still give you the money
you requested, but unknown to the robber, the
police will be immediately dispatched to the
location. This information was recently broadcast on CTV by
Crime Stoppers however it is seldom used because
people just don't know about it...... Please pass this
along to everyone.
This is the kind of information people don't mind
receiving, so pass it on to your family and friends.
