There are a few things that can be done in times of great 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: -
>
>*EMERGENCY Call*
>
>*I*
>
>*The Emergency Number worldwide for **Mobile** is 112.* If you find
>yourself out of 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.**
>
>*II*
>
>*Subject: Have you locked your keys in the car? Does you car have
>remote
>keys?*
>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).
>Editor's Note: *It works fine! We tried it out and it unlocked our car
>over a cell phone!"*
>
>*III*
>
>Subject: Hidden Battery power (Nokia)
>Imagine your cell battery is very low, you are expecting an important
>call and you don't have a charger. Nokia instrument comes with a
>reserve battery. To activate, press the keys *3370# Your cell 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 next time.
>
>AND
>
>*IV*
>
>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.
>
>
>
>
>U can also do this
>
>
>
>
>
>A recent article from the Toronto Star, "the ICE idea", is catching on
>and it is a very simple, yet important method of contact for you or a
>loved one in case of an emergency. As cell phones are carried by the
>majority of the population, all you need to do is program the number of
>a contact person or persons and store the name as "ICE".
>
>The idea was thought up by a paramedic who found that when they went to
>the scenes of accidents, there were always mobile phones with patients,
>but they didn't know which numbers to call. He therefore thought that
>it would be a good idea if there was a nationally recognized name to
>file "next of kin" under.
>
>Following a disaster in London The East Anglican Ambulance Service has
>launched a national "In case of Emergency (ICE)" campaign. The idea is
>that you store the word "ICE " in your mobile phone address book, and
>with it enter the number of the person you would want to be contacted
>"In Case of Emergency ". In an emergency situation, Emergency Services
>personnel and hospital staff would then be able to quickly contact your
>next of kin, by simply dialling the number programmed under "ICE".
>
>....
>
>
>Please forward this. It won't take too many "forwards" before everybody
>will know about this. It really could save your life, or put a loved
>one's mind at rest. For more than one contact name simply enter ICE1,
>ICE2, ICE3 etc.
>
>A great idea that will make a difference !
