> _5 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 some
> day. 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
> f rom 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. It 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!" *

> 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

> 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 yo ur 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

> 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. T his is
