I Am Not A Rapper

For all the folks with cell phones. (This should be printed and kept in your car, purse, and wallet. Good information to have with you.)

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 (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 (Locked Keys in Car)

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 (Hidden Battery Power)

Imagine your cell battery is very low. To activate, press the keys
*3370#.
Your cell phone 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 phone 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.

If your phone is 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 (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
a problem. When you need to use the 411 information option, simply dial:

(800) FREE 411 (800) FREE 411 or (800) 373-3411 (800) 373-3411

without incurring any charge at all. Program this into your cell phone
now.
