[vn-families] THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW YOUR CELL PHONE COULD DO !!!

[Binh Tran]

Hi all,
  It seems like 90% of us having at least 1 cellular phone in the house.
  These are very useful things that you should have on hands.
   
  THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW 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 
   
  Subject: 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 
   
  Subject: 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 
   
  Subject: 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. 
   
  FOURTH 
   
  Subject: 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 
  Subject: 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 now. 
   
  This is the kind of information people don't mind receiving, so pass it on 
  to your family and friends. 
   
  Have fun and safe month, everyone!
