Cell Phone Info

Every now and then I get some great information that I feel should be passed on. Below are 4 such examples. These are for your cell phones. They work on all of them.

FIRST   (Emergency)

The Emergency Number worldwide for  Mobile is 112, and can be dialed even if the keypad is locked.

SECOND   (Hidden Battery Power)

To activate, press the  keys *3370#. Your cell phone 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 phone next time.

THIRD   (How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone? )

To check your mobile phone's serial number, key in the following 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, 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.

And Finally....

FOURTH   (Free Directory Service for Cells)

When you need to use the 411 information option, simply dial:

(800) FREE411 or (800) 373-3411    
without incurring any charge at all.  Program this into your cell phone now.

I told you they were good!
