THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW
YOUR MOBILE PHONE COULD DO.

Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver or an emergency tool for
survival.

>1) The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112.
>If you find yourself out of 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 itout**

>2) Have you locked your keys in the car? Does you car have remote
keys?
>This may come in handy someday. Good reason to own a mobile phone: If
you
lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone
at
home on their phone from your mobile phone. Hold your mobile 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.

can
reach someone who has the other "remote" for your car, you can unlock
the
doors (or the boot).

call
and you don't have a charger. Nokia instrument comes with a reserve
battery. To activate, press the keys *3370# Your phone will restart
with
this reserve and the instrument will show a 50% increase in battery.

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.
