but if they work they certainly seem handy

                *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 all****Mobile Phones
                is 112. If you find yourself out of  the coverage area
                of your
                mobile network and there is an emergency, dial 112
                and your mobile will search any existing network in your
                area****to establish the emergency
                number for you, and interestingly this number 112 can be
                dialled even
                if the keypad is locked. This works on all phones
                worldwide and is free. **It is the equivalent of 000.
                **
                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
                **thousands** 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).

                **
                THIRD
                **Hidden
                Battery
                Power
                **
                To activate, press the keys *3370# (remember the
                asterisk).  Do this when the phone is almost dead.*
                *Your mobile will restart in a special way with this new
                reserve and the instrument will show a 50%
                increase in battery life. This reserve will get re
                charged when you charge your mobile next time.**
                This secret is in the fine print in most phone manuals.
                  Most people however skip this information without
                realising.*
                *
                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 #
                **Ensure you put an asterisk BEFORE the #06# sequence.*
                *
                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 **ever **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 done this, there would be no point in people
                stealing mobile phones.
                **/This secret is also in the fine print of most mobile
                phone manuals.  It was created for the very purpose of
                trying to prevent phones from being stolen./*
                */
                /**/_Also -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.
                **All ATM’s carry this emergency sequencer by law.*
                *
                This information was recently broadcast  by Crime Stoppers
                however it is seldom used because people just don't know
                about it.
                *
