Ani Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 I found this really helpful...For me especially The second one... THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW YOUR CELL 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 Subject: 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 Subject: 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 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). Editor's Note: It works fine! We tried it out and it Unlocked our car over a cell phone!" THIRD Subject: Hidden Battery Power Imagine your cell battery is very low. To activate, press The keys *3370# Your cell 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 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 # 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. And Finally.... FIFTH Cell phone companies are charging us $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) FREE 411, or (800) 373-3411 without Incurring any charge at all. Program this into your cell Phone now. This is the kind of information people don't Mind receiving, so pass it on to your family and friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SanVal Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 One of my favorite things about cell phones is the alarm clock. If the power goes off at night and the batteries have been charged when it happens, a cell phone really can be a lifesaver. Being sort of paranoid about this, I use three alarm clocks, and consider the cell phone one my backup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arpa Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Is that like the time when Vava was out celebrating his birthday. After having one too many he came out and found out he had left his keys in the ignition and the car was still running. Of course, his cell-phone was locked in it too. He called his wife from the payphone. She asked him which car he had, the SUV or the…. DUHHH! It was the convertible with the top down. :goof: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK. Since you started sharing, let me add one thing. So, Ani and I go to school together and usually she drives (since she has a newer German car than I do ) so she is responsible for locking the car doors right? Nope. You'd think that between the two of us adults one would remember to lock the doors, but we are so absent-minded that we have come back to her car on more than one occasion to find her doors unlocked and thnkfully her car intact. This is after a day of back to back clases. Lol. And the scary part is that between the two of us, we are raising three kids. Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I locked the remote control of the garage and all my keys(car, home) in the garage...I was lucky i had my phone...Oh and before my cousin came to save us... i tried to open the bathroom window with something and broke it... OK! I think we should stop sharing right here... Or people are gonna call Social services and inform that two absent-minded people are raising kids...

Em Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Oh and by the way, kudos to both of you for going to school even with the german car and kids and all. Thank you, Sip. The sentiment means a lot. In all honesty though, we are having way too much fun! It will be very sad when school is over. The secret to having young kids and still keeping sane is to have time away from them spent enjoying grown-up activities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
