can actually be a life saver or an emergency tool for survival. Here are
some tips to add to your disaster recovery plans for cell phone use;
- Emergency Number – 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.
- 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. - Disable a STOLEN or lost 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. If the
phone is lost or 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 the phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole or has 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 Mobile
