Got this from my previous email...it might be helpful and new to some of 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:
*I*
*
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
it out.**
*II*
*
Subject: 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 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 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).
Editor's Note:
*It works fine! We tried it
out and it unlocked our car
over a cell phone!"*

Battery power
Imagine your cell battery is
very low
, you are expecting an important
call
and you don't have a charger.
Nokia instrument comes
with a reserve
battery. 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.
AND
*IV*
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 get
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.

I've heard of most of these but thanks for the tips on the other things.
