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
Have you locked your keys in the car?

Does your car have remote key less 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
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).

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.

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.

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, dial: (800)FREE411, or (800) 373-3411 without
incurring any charge at all. Program this into your cell phone now.

Cell phone *urban legends*

I just had this argument with some coworkers a while back, sorry but I for one am a person who gets really really annoyed by the emails that say if I don't send them on, I will die, or be sad, etc. I mean seriously, the computer monsters are not going to come haunt me and god has nothing to do with internet so I won't go to hell if I don't forward them on...lol

This happens to just be another typical typical "urban legend"
It's apples vs. oranges, in other words. Your cell phone can no more transmit the type of signal needed to unlock a car door than your remote key is capable of dialing up your Aunt Mary ... though no one can predict what miracles the future may bring.

Also, snopes has the info that your cell phone numbers do not have to be registered with the "no call" list either, just another hoax.

Check the claims at the best known source for "myths" and "hoaxes"
