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 ."
WOW! GOOD INFO, HOOK-ME-BOY! SO
YOU'RE NOT A TOTAL BUFFON AFTER
ALL HUH?
