What you can do with a cell phone, good stuff

Very Useful cell phone info

*Here is a list of things that you may or may not know about!*



*/_THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW YOUR CELL PHONE COULD DO._/*
*
There are 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 the things that you can do with it:*
*_
FIRST_
Subject: 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. (I have entered in my cell phone number directory.)*

Subject: 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_**
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 instrument will show a 50% increase in battery.
This reserve will get charged when you charge your cell
next time. (I have entered the access # in cell phone directory.)*

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. 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 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....(I have made note of my
phone's serial number.)*

FIFTH_**
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 us do not carry a telephone directory in our
vehicle, which makes this situation even more of a problem. 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. (I have entered this # in
my cell phone directory.)* *_
Sixth_*
*NEVER DIAL A 1 ON YOUR CELL*
*IF YOU ARE MAKING A LONG DISTANCE CALL YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DIAL
1 - THE AREA CODE - THEN THE NUMBER.*
*THERE IS A FEE WHEN YOU USE 1 (ONE)
*
*
This is the kind of information people don't mind receiving, so
pass it on to your family and friends. *
