----- 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 actually be a 
life saver or an emergency tool for survival. 

Check out the things that you can do with it: 

FIRST 
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 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. 
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 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. 

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). 

Editor's Note: It works fine! We tried it out and 
it unlocked our car over a mobile phone!' 

THIRD 
Hidden Battery Power 
Imagine your mobile battery is very low. 
To activate, press the keys *3370# 
Your mobile will restart with this reserve 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 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. 

ATM - PIN Number Reversal - Good to Know 
If you should ever be forced by a robber to 
withdraw money from an ATM machine, you can 
notify the police by entering your PIN # in reverse. 
For example, if your pin number is 1234, 
then you would put in 4321. 

The ATM system recognizes that your PIN number is 
backwards from the ATM card you placed in the machine. 

The machine will still give you the money you requested, 
but unknown to the robber, the police will be 
immediately dispatched to the location. 

True or Not…….Don’t know, but be aware than be sorry! 

Don't press #90 or #09 

If you receive a phone call on your mobile from any person, saying that, that they're checking your mobile line, and you have to press # 90 or #09 or any other number.End this call immediately without pressing any numbers.. 

There is a fraud company using a device that once you press #90 or #09 they can access your 'SIM' card and make calls at your expense. 
Forward this message to as many friends as you can, to stop it. 

This information has been confirmed by both Motorola and Nokia. 
There are over 3 Million mobile phones being infected by this virus in all around the world now. 

This information was recently broadcast on CTV by Crime Stoppers 
however it is seldom used because people just don't know about it. 
Please pass this along to everyone.
