    4 Things You Probably Never Knew Your Mobile Phone Could Do



    There are a few things that can be done in times of grave emergencies. Your mobile phone can be a life saver. Check out the things that you can do with it:


    FIRST Emergency


    The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobiles 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 interestingly112 can be dialled 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. If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their mobile 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. Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles away. It works fine! We tried it out and it unlocked the car over a mobile phone!'

    THIRD Hidden Battery Power
    Imagine your mobile battery is very low. Enter the number *3370#. Your mobile will restart with reserve power and the instrument will show a 50% increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when you charge your mobile 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 * # 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 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.

    I'm afraid they are all urban legends.
