THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW YOUR CELLPHONE COULD

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!"*
III Subject: Hidden 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.
IV How to disable a STOLEN mobil e 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.
Please spread this useful information around

Yes, you are quite right. All these information are truly helpful. I think it is very much important if the cellular phone manufacturers or the cellular phones stores will include this information when upon selling the phones. It would come in very handy.
