4 Things you might not have known about your Cell Phone
For
all the folks with cell phones. (This should be printed and kept in
your car, purse, and wallet. Good information to have with you.)
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 (Hidden Battery Power)
Imagine
your cell battery is very low. To activate, press the keys *3370#. Your
cell phone 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 phone next time.
THIRD (How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone? )
To check your Mobile phone's serial number, key in the following Digits on your phone:
*#06# .
A 15-digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe.
If
your phone is 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....
FOURTH (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) FREE411 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.
