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:
1 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.
2 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.
3 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.
4 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.

Most of those are not true, and the ones that are true are misleading! Be careful before you rely on those.
