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: -
EMERGENCY
* The Emergency Number worldwide
for **Mobile** is 112 ..*
If you find yourself out of 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.**
Have you locked your keys in the car?
Does you car have remote keys?
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).

you are expecting an important call and you don't have
a charger. Nokia instrument

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.
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 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/sell it either.
If everybody does this, there would be no point in
people stealing mobile phones. Please spread
this useful information around
