DON'T KNOW IF THESE WORK,BUT WILL GIVE THEM A TRY.
5 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_
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 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 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 cell phone!"
THIRD_
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_
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.
And Finally....

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. 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
