Important Cell Phone Information
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.
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).

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