Cell Phone Magic
Three Very
Helpful Cell Phone Hints!
Unlock Your Car with Your Cell Phone
Ever lock your keys in your car? Well, if you have your cell phone
(and electronic locks) here's what you can do:
- Call someone at home and have them get the extra key or key fob.
- Hold your cell phone about 12 inches from the car door.
- Ask the person at home to hold the key next to the phone and press
unlock!
(works 99% of the time)
Disable a Stolen Phone
Permanently
(Even if the thief changes
the SIM card.)
First get your
cell phone's serial number. Press *#06# Write down the
number your phone displays and keep it in a safe place. If
your phone is ever stolen, call your service provider and give them
the number. This will block the handset and make the phone
totally useless.
So the thief thinks they just got a really great expensive and
unlocked cell phone, but guess what? You win!
Make an Emergency Call
(no matter where you are)
Did you know there is an Worldwide Emergency number for mobile
phones?
It is 112. It works even if you are out of your service
coverage area and interestingly, you can dial it even from a locked
keypad. When dialed it will search any existing network to
establish an emergency connection.
