FOUR THINGS YOU PROBABLY NEVER KNEW YOUR MOBILE 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 world-wide 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 dialled even if the keypad is locked. Try it out.

 

SECOND Emergency

 

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 somebody at home on their mobile 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).

 

 

THIRD Emergency

 

Hidden Battery Power

 

Imagine your mobile battery is very low. To activate, press the keys *3370# Your mobile will restart with this reserve and the instrument will show a 50% increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when you charge your mobile next time.

 

FOURTH Emergency

 

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. If your phone gets 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.

Unlocking your car via your MBL phone......

 

If that trick did ever work, I would use it...regularly !

i get called out to drivers that lock there keys in vehicles all the time.....

 

The only thing you can do with your phone to do with vehicle remote locking is if your keys use infra red to unlock /lock and you want to test if they are sending out a signal..is to point the keys at the camera on the phone and press the buttons..if it works it shows up as a blue light on the screen..(.this works with most infra red remotes )..try it ?

 

The best trick you can do with your MBL if you are in this scenario is to call the emergency services !
