Subject: Fw: Cell Phones - emergency tool for survival








------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  >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.
  >
  >SECOND 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.
  >
  >FOURTH Subject: 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  gets stolen, you can call 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.
  >
  >FIFTH Subject:  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.
  >
  >This is the kind of  information people don't mind receiving, so pass it on
  >to your family and  friends.
