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. 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 someone at home on their cell phone from your
cell ph one. 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). Editor’s Note: It works
fine! We tried it out and it unlocked our car over a cell phone!”

3. Hidden Battery Power

Imagine your cell battery is very low. To activate, press the keys *3370#
your cell 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 next time.

4. 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. When 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.
