<div>5 THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW YOUR CELL PHONE COULD DO </div>
<p>There are a few things that can be done in times of grave <br>emergencies. Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver or an emergency tool for survival.</p>
<p>Check out the things that you can do with it: </p>
<p>FIRST: Emergency</p>
<p>The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobiles is 112.</p>
<p>If you find yourself out of the coverage area of your mobile; network <br>and there is an emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any <br>existing network to establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly this number <br>
112 can be dialed even if the ke ypad is locked. Try it out.</p>
<p><br>SECOND: Have you locked your keys in the car?</p>
<p>Does your car have remote keyless entry? This may come in handy <br>Someday. Good reason to own a cell phone: If you lock your keys in the car and the <br>spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their cell phone from your <br>
cell phone. Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have <br>the person at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the mobile phone <br>on their end. Your car will unlock. </p>
<p>Saves someone from having to drive your keys to you. Distance is no object. <br>You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who has the <br>other 'remote' for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk). </p>
<p>Editor's Note: It works fine! We tried it out and it unlocked our car over a cell phone! '</p>
<p><br>THIRD: Hidden Battery Power </p>
<p>Imagine your cell battery is very low. To activate, press the keys *3370#<br>Your cell will restart with this reserve and the instrument will show a 50%<br>increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when you charge <br>
your cell next time.</p>
<p><br>FOURTH: How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone?</p>
<p>To check your Mobile phone's serial number, key in t he following <br>digits on your phone: * # 0 6 # A 15 digit code will appear on the screen. This <br>number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe. <br>
When your phone get stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them <br>this code. They will then be able to block your handset so even if the thief <br>changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless. You probably won't get <br>
your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can't <br>use/sell it either. If everybody does this, there would be no point in people <br>stealing mobile phones.</p>
<p>And</p>
<p>Finally....<br>FIFTH: Free Directory Se rvice for Cells</p>
<p>Cell phone companies are charging us $1.00 to $1.75 or more for 411 <br>information calls when they don't have to. Most of us do not carry a<br>telephone directory in our vehicle, which makes this situation even <br>
more of a problem. When you need to use the 411 information option, simply <br>dial: (800) FREE 411, or (800) 373-3411 without incurring any charge at all. <br>Program this int o your cell phone now.</p>
<p><br>This is the kind of information people don't mind receiving, so pass <br>it on to your family and friends</p>
