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: -
Emergency
* The Emergency Number
worldwide for **Mobile** is 112 …* If
you find
yourself out of 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.**
Have
you locked your keys in your car? Does
your car have remote keys?
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!”*

Battery power
Imagine your cell battery is
very low , you are expecting an
important
call
and you don’t have a
charger. Nokia instrument comes with a
reserve
battery. 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.
AND
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.
