5 ФАКТОВ О ВАШЕЙ СОТОВОЙ СВЯЗИ

  5 Things  You Never Knew Your Cell Phone Could  Do

 

For  all the folks with cell phones. (This should be  printed and kept in your car, purse, and wallet.  Good information to have with you.) 

 

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  dialed even if the keypad is locked. Try it  out. 

SECOND (Locked  Keys in Car)  

 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 *3370#. 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:        

                   *#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.  

 

If your  phone is 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 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)  FREE411   or  (800)  373-3411  

   

 Without  incurring any charge at all.  Program this  into your cell phone now..

This  is the kind of information people don't mind  receiving, so pass it on to your family and  friends.
