Krambo Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 Well read this and comment: THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW YOUR MOBILE TELEPHONE 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. Also, 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 mobile telephone from your mobile telephone. Hold your mobile '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 mobile battery is very low. To activate, press the following keys: *3370# Your mobile telephone will restart with this reserve and the instrument will show a 50% increase in battery power. This reserve will get charged when you next charge your mobnile telephone. FOURTH Subject: How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone? To check your mobile phone's serial number, key in the following digits on your telephone 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 in some safe place. If your mobile telephone is stolen, you can makea telephone call to your service provider and give them this code. They will then be able to block your handset so that even if the thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless. You probably won't get your mobile telephone 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 telephones. And finally, FIFTH Mobile telephone companies are charging us $1.00 to $1.75 or more for 411 information calls Most of us do not carry a telephone directory in our vehicles, 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 number into your mobile telephone This is the sort of information people don't mind receiving, so pass it on to your family and friends.
