Things You Never Knew Your Cell Phone Could Do
« on: Jan 29, 2010, 06:54:39 AM »
5 Things You Never Knew Your Cell Phone Could Do
 
 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 someday. 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 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 .


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  * 3 3 7 0 #    Your cell phone 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
phone next time.
 
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 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 your 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.
 
 
 And Finally....
 
 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
 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.

You can also text message GOOGLE (466453) and act is if its 411 when you write the text. You get the number you want in less than a minute and don't have to talk to anyone.

I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.
