Miscellaneous: 4 Things You Never Knew Your Cell Phone Could Do
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. Labels: miscellaneous
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!
ONE: 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 for any existing network to establish the emergency number for you. Interestingly, this number 112 can be dialled even if the keypad is locked. Try it!
TWO: 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 cellphone: If you locked 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 home press the unlock button, holding it near the cell phone on their end. Your car will unlock. Saves someone from having to drive your keys to you. Distance is not an issue. 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).
THREE: 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 the next time.
FOUR: How to disable a stolen mobile phone?
To check your mobile phone's serial number, key in: *#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. When 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.
