Things Your Cell Phone Can Do

The following is information issued from police Detective Ross to his fellow offiers:

5 THINGS A CELL PHONE COULD DO
-
FIRST: Emergancy 112
The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112.
If you find yourself out of the coverage area of your mobile network, dial 112 and
the mobile will search any existing network to establish the emergency number for you.
ALSO: this number 112 can be dialed even if the keypad is locked.
-
SECOND: Keys locked in the car?
Does your car have remote keyless entry?
If you lock your keys in the car and the spare is at home, call someone at home from your cellphone. Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the person at home press the unlock button, holding it near the mobile phone on their end. Your car will unlock. (Officer Parks tried it and it worked fine.)
-
THIRD: Hidden battery power.
Your cell battery is very low? To activate reserve power, press the keys *3370#.
Your cellphone will restart with this reserve and show 50% increase in battery.
This reserve will get charged the next time you charge your cell phone.

FOURTH: Disable your stolen mobile phone.
To check your Mobile phone's serial number, key in the folowing 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, call your service provider and give them this code. They will then
be able to block your handset - even if the ehief changes the SIM card.

FIFTH: Free Drectory Service for Cells
To avoid $1. and $1.75 charges for 411 information calls, simply dial (800)FREE411,
or (800)373-3411 without incurring any charge at all.
Suggestion: program this into your cell phone now.

This is the kind of information people don't mind receiving, so pass it on to your family and friends. (Thanks to your local police officers.)
