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!

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: * # 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.
Should 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.

FIFTH:
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:
1-800-FREE-411, or 1-800-373-3411 without incurring any charge at all.
Program this into your cell phone now.
