Subject: Five Things You Didn't Know Your Cell Phone Could Do

Five 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. This will save 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! 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: *#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.

FIFTH - 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.

the unlock doesn't work. mythbusters even disproved that one.

the extra battery power works....but don't do it unless its an emergency. it basically turns off all functions on your phone causing data loss on some models. my boss lost all of his contacts trying it.

I personally have not tried any of this, so use your own good decision making skills. Don't bitch to me if you tear your stuff up!!

Well I tried the unlock and your right it doesn't work. I figured it would be best not to start putting weird numbers in. That battery thing is good to know just in case.
