Mobile Phones

THINGS YOU PROBABLY NEVER KNEW YOUR MOBILE PHONE COULD

 DO

 

> This is brilliant, everyone should have a copy of this email in their

> car

>  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
