There are a few things that can be done in times of grave emergencies.
Your mobile phone can actually be a life safer or an emergency tool for
survival. Check out the things you can do with it;
FIRST; Emergency
The emergency number worldwide for all mobile phones is 112. If you
find yourself out of the coverage area of your mobile network and there is an
emergency, dial 112 and your mobile will search any existing network in your
area to establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly this number
112 can be dialed even if the keypad is locked. This works on all phones
worldwide and is free. It is the equivalent of 0000.
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 perhaps you lock your keys in the
car and the spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their mobile 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 thousands of miles
away, and you can reach someone who has the other remote to your car, you can
unlock the doors (or the trunk).
THIRD; Hidden Battery Power
To activate, press the keys *3370#, do this when
the phone is almost dead. Your mobile will restart in a special way with this
new reserve and the instrument will show a 50% increase in battery life. This reserve
will get recharged when you charge your mobile next time. Note this secret is
in the fine print in most phone manuals. Most people however skip this
information without realizing it.
FOURTH; How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone.
To check your mobile phone serial number, key in the following digits
on your phone; *06#. A 15 digit code will appear on the screen. This
number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe. If your
phone ever 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, the phone will totally be useless. You probably won’t get your
phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can neither use nor
sell it. If everybody does this, there would be no point in people stealing
mobile phones. Note this secret is also in the fine print of most mobile phone
manuals. It was created for the very purpose of trying to prevent phones from
being stolen.
Also, ATM PIN number reversal,
If you should ever be forced by a robber to withdraw money from an ATM
machine, you can notify the police by entering your PIN then # in reverse. For example,
if your PIN number is 1234, then you would input 4321. The ATM system recognizes
that your PIN number is backwards from the ATM card you placed in the machine. The
machine will still give you the money requested, but unknown to the robber, the
police will be immediately dispatched to the location. All ATM carry this
emergency sequence by law.
Hope you find this hint very
useful!
