You might know one or two of these but I thought it was pretty cool.
1. 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 a n 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.
2. 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!'
3. 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
4. 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 onthe screen. This number is unique to your
handset. Writeit down and keep it somewhere safe.
If your phone gets 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.
5. 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.
