4 THINGS YOU PROBABLY NEVER KNEW YOUR MOBILE PHONE COULD DO

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 dialled 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: Hidden Battery Power
Imagine your mobile battery is very low. To activate, press the keys *3370#
Your mobile will restart with this reserve and the instrument will show a 50%
increase in battery.
This reserve will get charged when you charge your mobile next time.

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 # and 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.

All these you said, when i tried them on my Btech(chinco phone), they refused to function on the phone.

Most especially when i tried the car unlocking steps on my grandpa's 1980 series volkswagen(beetle), the car didn't unlock at all. It even took the intervention of the carpenter nearby to help cut the padlocks used to lock the car's doors with hammer.

Chinco phones aren't always smart and I'll suggest you call a welder to cut the padlocks on your pop's old beetle next time. Lol.
