*** 4 THINGS THAT YOU PROBABLY NEVER
KNEW YOUR MOBILE PHONE COULD DO ***


There are quite 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 what
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, 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 information
may come in handy someday.

If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home,
 just call someone at home and ask them to get your spare key
and their mobile phone.  Then hold your cell phone about
a foot from your car door and  have the person at home
 press the unlock button on the spare key,  holding it near
their mobile phone. Your car will unlock  and saves
someone from having to drive your keys to you.
Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of
miles away but if you can reach someone who
has the other 'remote' key for your car, you
can unlock the doors (or the boot/trunk).
SharkDoctor's note: It works well! We tried it out
and it unlocked our car over a mobile phone!'


THIRD
Hidden Battery Power

Imagine your mobile battery is very low. To
reactivate, press the keys *3370#  and your
mobile will restart with this reserve and will
show a 50% increase in battery. This reserve
will get charged when  you next recharge
your mobile.


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.  If 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 it or sell it either.
If everybody did this, there would be no
point in people stealing mobile phones.
ATM - PIN Number Reversal
Good to know 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 # in reverse.For
example, if your pin number is 1234
then you would put in 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
you requested but, unknown to the
robber, the police will be immediately
dispatched to the location.
SharkDoctor's note: "Uh - This one is a bit tricky Matey!
Better to just hand over the loot and let the Scallywag be off ."
