Great information and hope that you find it useful!:thmbsp:
There are a few things that can be done in time of grave emergencies. Your Mobile Phone can actually be a life saver or an emergency tool for survival. Check out the things you can do with it and pass it on to others if you believe that would be benefit:
FIRST
Subject; Emergency
The Emergency number worldwide for Mobile is 112. If you find yourself out of the coverage are 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 can be dialed even if the keypad is locked. Try it out.
SECOND
Subject: Have you ever locked your keys in the car?
Does your car have a 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 have spare keys at home, call someone at home on their cell from your cell. Hold your phone about a foot away from your car door and have the person at home press the unlock button, holding it near the phone on their end. Tour call will unlock. save someone from having to drive thye keys to you or calling a locksmith.
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 finr! We tried it out and it unlocked our car over the cell phone!
THIRD
Subject: 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 instument will show a 50% increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when you you charge your cell next time.
FOURTH
Subject: How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone?
To check your mobil phone's serial number, key in the following digits on your phone: * 0 6 # A 15 digit code will appear on the screen. This # is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe. If your phone gets stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this code. They will then be able to immedietely 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/resell it either. If everybody does this, there would be no pointin people stealingyour phone!
And Finally!
