4   THINGS YOU PROBABLY NEVER KNEW YOUR MOBILE 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 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 dialled 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 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. 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 mobile
phone!'

THIRD Hidden Battery Power

Imagine your mobile battery is very
low. To activate, press the keys *3370# Your mobile will restart
with this reserve 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 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.

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, so pass it
on to your family and friends
