Some good info
4 Things you might not have known about your Cell Phone
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 (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.
THIRD (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.
If your phone is 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....
FORTH (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 pass it on to your family and friends.
