5 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 -- 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.

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 c an 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!"

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.
