All you folks
with cell phones - please print this and keep it in your car, purse or wallet. Your
cell phone can be a life saver or an emergency tool for survival. Here’s
what you can do:
1.
In an Emergency: The Emergency
Number worldwide for a cell phone is 112. If you are outside a cell phone coverage
area or network, dial 112 and the phone will search for any existing network. Interestingly,
you can dial this number even if the keypad is locked. Try it out.
2.
Hidden Battery Power: If your
cell phone battery is very low, press *3370#.
Your cell phone will restart with the reserve battery power and the instrument
will show a 50% increase in battery. This reserve will get re-charged when you
charge your cell phone the next time.
3.
To disable a stolen cell phone: Check
your cell phone's serial number by dialing *#06# . A 15-digit code will
appear on the screen. This number is unique to your phone. Write it down and
keep it in a safe place. If your phone is stolen, phone your service provider
and give them this code. They will be able to block your cell phone so that 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. If everybody does this, there would be no point in stealing
cell phones.
4.
Free Directory Service for Cell
phones: Cell phone companies charge $1.00 to $1.75 or more for 411 information
calls. When you need information, simply dial: (800) FREE411 or (800)
373-3411 without incurring any charges. Program this into your cell phone
now. This service is sponsored by McDonalds.
