USEFUL INFORMATION THAT MAY COME HANDY SOMEDAY
5 THINGS YOU PROBABLY NEVER KNEW YOUR MOBILE PHONE COULD DO..
There are a few things that can be done in times o...f 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.
FIFTH : 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.
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.
This is the kind of information people don ' t mind receiving, so pass it on to your family and friends.

Thanks for sharing.

SIXTH: Whenever you're in a hotel room, turn off all the lights in the room and ensure there's total darkness, then turn on your phone camera and look out for a red dot on your screen. If you find the red dot, it means there's a hidden camera in the room.

OP your tips are very nice and excellent... Truly truly we all need such informations but am a bit sour... Why?

Ok, see i would have loved it if you have given credit to your source of info...Because you did some copy and paste which blare hard to my face....

Always give credit to the author of the original, that way yours will also be original... I will not like to disclose the source. I hope you understand what am trying to let you know?

Alright going back to mobile phones and their obscure usefulness... Your mobile can work wonders which you can't think of.... No wonder my grandmother always say that this thing is a whitemans' witch...hahahaaa

Do you really know you can detect cctv cameras and other hidden cameras with your mobile phone?

Do you know your mobile phone can serve as an electromagnetic field detector?

Have you ever asked yourself a question why whenever you brought your phone near a microphone reciever, the reciever starts giving off a bleeping sound?

I wrote an article on [url=w3programs.com/how-to-detect-hidden-cameras-with-your-mobile-phone/]how to detect hidden cameras with your mobile phone[/url]. Check it out and understand more.

This our phone sometimes dey surprise me o.... Wait o....e be like say this thing my grandmother dey talk be true? She say handset na oyibo witch...hahahahaaaaa..
