survival.

> 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, and interestingly 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 may come in handy
someday. Good reason to own a cell phone. If you lo ck 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. This will save 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! We tried it out and it unlocked our car over
a cell
> phone!
>
> THIRD - 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: *#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.
> 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.
>
> FIFTH - Free Directory Service for Cells
>
> 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

dial: (800) FREE 411, or (800) 373-3411 without incurring any charge at all. Program this into your cell phone now.
