Useful Digits During Emergency
A few things that can be done in times of graveemergencies.
Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver or
anemergency tool for survival. Check out the things
that you can do with it: -
*EMERGENCY*
*I*
*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,
dial112 and the mobile will search any existing
network to establish the emergency number for
you, andinterestingly this number 112 can be
dialed even if the keypad is locked. **Try it out.**
*II*
*Subject: Have youlocked your keys in the car?
Does you car have remote keys?*
This maycome in handy someday. Good reason to
own a cell phone:
If you lock your keys in the car andthe 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 atyour home press the
unlock button, holding it near the mobile phone on
their end. Your car willunlock. Saves someone
from having to drive your keys to you. Distance is
no object. You could behundreds of miles away,
and if you can reach someone who has the
other "remote" for your car, youcan unlock the
doors (or the trunk).
Editor's Note: *It works fine! Wetried it out and it
unlocked our car over a cell phone!"*
*III*
Subject: Hidden Battery power
Imagine yourcell battery is very low, you are
expecting an important call and you don't have a
charger. Nokiainstrument 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 FINALLY
*IV*
How to disable aSTOLEN mobile phone?
To check your Mobile phone's serial number, key
in thefollowing digits on your phone: * # 0 6 #
A 15 digit code will appear onthe screen. This
number is unique to your handset. Write it down
and keep it somewhere safe. whenyour phone get
stolen, you can phone your service provider and
give them this code. They will thenbe able to block
your handset so even if the thief changes the SIM
card, your phone will be totallyuseless. You
probably won't get your phone back, but at least
you know that whoever stole it can'tuse/sell it
either. If everybody does this, there would be no
point in people stealing mobilephones.
