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 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

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....

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.

This is the kind of information people don't mind receiving, so
