4 THINGS YOUR MOBILE PHONE COULD DO

Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver or an emergency tool for survival. Check out the things that you do with your mobile phone.

First: Emergency

The emergeny number worldwide 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. Interestingly, number 112 can be dialed even if the keypad is locked.

Second: Have you locked your keys in the car?

Does your car have remote keyless entry? This may come in handy someday. Good reason to own a cell phone: if you lock your key in the car and the spare keys at home, call someone at home on their mobile phone from 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. You have saved 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).

Third: Hidden Battery Power:

Imagine your mobile battery is very low. To activate, press the keys *3370#. Your mobile will restart with this reverse and the instrument will show a 50% increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when you charge your mobile next time.

Fourth: How to Disable a Stolen Mobile Phone:

To check your mobile phone1s serial number, key in the following digits on your phone *#06#, A 15 digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe. When 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 charges your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can not use/sell it either. If everybody does this , there would be no point in people stealing mobile phones.
