Cell Phone Info

THINGS YOU PROBABLY NEVER KNEW YOUR MOBILE PHONE COULD DO  There are quite 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 what 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, 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 information may come in handy someday.   If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home , just call someone at home and ask them to get your spare key and their mobile phone.  Then hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and  have the person at  home press the unlock button on the spare key, holding it near their mobile phone. Your car will unlock  and saves someone from having to drive your keys to you. Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles away but if you can reach someone who has the other 'remote' key for your car,  you can  unlock the doors (or the trunk).  Editor's Note: It works well! We tried it out and  it unlocked our car over a mobile phone!'  THIRD  Hidden   Battery  Power  Imagine your mobile battery is very low.  To reactivate, press the keys *3370#   and your mobile will restart with this reserve and will show a 50% increase in battery.  This reserve will get charged when  you next recharge your mobile.  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.  If 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 it or sell it either.  If everybody did this, there would be  no point in people stealing mobile phones.  ATM - PIN Number Reversal - Good to Know  If you should ever be forced by a robber to withdraw money from an ATM machine, you can notify the police by entering your PIN # in reverse. For example, if your pin number is 1234 then you would put in 4321.  The ATM system recognizes that your PIN number is backwards from the ATM card you placed in the machine. The machine will still give you the money you requested but, unknown to the robber, the police will be immediately dispatched to the location.  This information was recently broadcast on CTV by Crime Stoppers however it is seldom used because people just don't know about it.        Please pass this along to everyone. This is the kind of information people don't mind receiving,
