Secrets of Mobile Phone

It was last year when I first lost my mobile phone. You can read about the story HERE. It wasn't a good feeling when you lost your phone. You'll craved for the contact list rather than the phone, at least for me. Or maybe both.

Thus, I discovered the total of FOUR secrets of mobile phone!

First situation, what if you're stranded in an unknown place with a phone that you're not even familiar with? No worries!

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 dialed even if the keypad is locked. Try it out.

Situation two;

"Damn! My car keys and remote left in the car and it went auto lock!", Mr. Careless screamed, as he went panicking.

"No worry, hear this secret number two!", Dude said, while calming down Mr. Careless.

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 his mobile phone. Your car will unlock.

Situation number three,

"Eh, you heard about that countdown day scandal?", Miss Gossip X said
on the phone.

"What?! What?! Tell! Tell!", Miss Gossip Y asked curiously.

"Neh, that Du........", Miss Gossip X uttered while her voice faded.

"Hello?! Hello?! Eh, haven't finish lah!", Miss Gossip Y realised her phone was out of battery.

Bet you didn't know there're hidden power in your cellphone. 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.

Last situation, your phone got stolen. Full stop. You can't get back your phone now but you don't want the theft to use your phone too. 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. 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.

Now, pay me for the lessons!
