5 things your cell phone can do
 

Some of it I had heard before.:)



5 things your CELL PHONE COULD DO

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:

FIRST 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.

SECOND 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 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!"

THIRD 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 showa 50% increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when you charge yourcell next time.

FOURTH 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.

And
Finally....

FIFTH 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) FREE 411, or (800) 373-3411 without incurring any charge at all. Program this into
your cell phone.

pass it on to your family and friends.:)

You forgot the most important thing :::


YOU CAN CALL PEOPLE WITH IT !!!!!

Re: 5 things your cell phone can do
 

You've got to remember that not all cell phones come from one manufacture so there's not going to be a universal code for all phones. It's a nice idea that Al Gore might make a law when he creates a new reality.:jump:

NEW YORK - Most of us understand the basics of using our cell phones, so an e-mail about unknown tricks is bound to get attention.

An e-mail chain forward has been circling through many inboxes and NBC station WNBC in New York decided to put the claims to the test.

The first claim: The worldwide emergency number for cell phones is 112.

Not true! That number will not work anywhere in North America.

Claim two: You can unlock a car door with your cell phone and a spare remote key.

Wrong again. Cell phones and keyless entry systems work on entirely different radio frequencies, making this trick impossible.

Next claim: Pressing star 3370 pound accesses a reserve of battery power.

Nope. On some cell phones that code can be used to enhance voice quality . . . which actually decreases battery life!

Claim four: Press star pound zero six pound (* # 0 6 #) to disable a stolen cell phone.

The only thing this accomplishes is to display the phones' fifteen digit international mobile equipment identification.

The correct option: Call your cell provider.

And the final claim: You can make 411 calls on your cell phone for free by dialing 1-800-FREE-411.

This one is true because you can use that number from any phone, including your home phone.

However if you do use it from your cell phone, you may still get charged for the minutes, depending on your plan.
