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 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.
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
THIRD

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.
