FOUR THINGS YOU PROBABLY NEVER KNEW YOUR MOBILE
*Last one very interesting FOUR 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.
Also -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. *
