Cell Phone Tips Gleaned From The Internet
(NCT
cannot guarantee that any or all these tips
will work - We merely pass them along)
-
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 dialed even if the
keypad is locked. Try it out.*

Lockout?
Have
you locked your keys in the car? Does your
car have remote key less 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 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).*

Hidden
Battery Power
Imagine your cell battery is very low. To
activate, press the keys *3370#. Your cell
phone 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 phone next time.*

Phone
Stolen?
How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone? To
check your Mobile phone's serial number,
key in the following Digits on your phone:
*#06#. 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 gets 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.*

Free
Directory Service for Cells
Cell phone companies are charging $1.00
to $1.75 or more for 411 information calls
when they don't have to. Most of us do not
carry a telephone directory in our vehicle,
which makes this situation even more of
a problem. When you need to use the 411
information option, simply dial: (800)FREE411,
or (800) 373-3411 without incurring any
charge at all.*
