THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW YOUR CELLPHONE COULD DO!
Monday, 4 December 2006 - 9:04 AM SL Time |  | |
This is something I received from a friend. I have not verified what follows, but I would appreciate if those who do, let me know, if in fact, these are true.
`
THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW YOUR CELLPHONE 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:
*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.
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 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.
Testing your microwave oven
Put your Mobile phone inside the microwave and close the door. Now call your mobile number from another phone. If your mobile inside the microwave rings you might as well throw away your microwave oven. Inside the microwave oven, your mobile should have zero reception and if it rang it means the oven is not properly insulated.
Please spread this useful information around

It's very nice information, it's very helpful. Thanks.
May I add, there are counties in the world like Japan, where you don't use SIM cards, handy phone comes without a SIM and if some one steal your mobile then you just have to call the provider, normally in Japan there are no mobile thefts thanks to this.
Could you please find the additional or reserve battery codes for other apparatuses?
Applause. |
