5 things you never knew your cell phone could do



All 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 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:

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 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.
