Things you can use on your cell phone

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 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.

And Finally....

FIFTH

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.

My LG does it in 32 seconds flat.  Steams the bun and squirts the mustard too.  Still haven't figured out how to get it to chop onions and make slaw though.   :-/

Cool.  If I dial 1-401-mariosplace PIZZA shows up at my front door within 30 minutes!!!

AS for snopes saying the keyless entry doesn't work, they are wrong.  My buddy gets a kick out of showing everyone on his Tahoe.

I rarely use my cell phone and I never get any calls. My wife said I had to turn it on.  :-*

Is that true?

Burley,

You have a new picture.

You are prettier than ever!

Also note number 4 above - the cell companies already know your phone's IMEI number, so no need to keep it stored somewhere for later use.  As far as blocking it goes - it's quite easy to override it if you know what you're doing.

Actually Ronnie, all you have to do is look to both sides 3 times ,..real fast,..put the phone on the ground and run like hell.  Same result, it's just quicker and easier than dialing.  8-)

It's even easier if you're brown like me...  

[Bass Smacker]

 I hate stuff like this. If it works its ok but if it don;t it could real put some ones life at risk.

Just like the one that tells people that if they are getting robbed at the atm to enter there pin backwords the machine will spit out the cash and call the police for you... I know people that beleved that without hesitasion. Sent it to all there freinds and family. Now picture you grandma at the atm some low life with a short temper and you grandma franticly typing in her pin backwords hoping for cash and help..........
