Five Great Cell Phone Tips
I bet you didn’t know you could do
Most of These With Your Cell Phone.
I sure didn’t.
Cellular phones seem to be one of the most used technology items over the past few years. It is very rare you know a person who doesn’t have a cell phone or hasn’t had one in the past,
Here are 5 great things you can do with your cell phone.
1/ One of the first things I discovered really interesting that could be done on my phone is when I was travelling over in Europe I didn’t know what their Emergency Number was. I discovered that if you type in 112 on your phone you would be given a worldwide Emergency Service.
This works perfect even when you are out of your networks coverage area. It will find a network that is working in the local zone and allow the call to be connected.
Now your probably thinking, what if my phone is locked and I am in such a panic I can’t even function to get it to unlock?
Don’t worry; this function will even work when your keypad locked. I’d say test this out, but you could be making a false emergency call so just remember this for your next vacation it may come in quite handy.
2/If you are really forgetful this will be useful.
Do you have a vehicle that has one of those fancy remote keyless entry options? Did you leave your keys in the vehicle and can’t get in?
Do you have an extra set with someone else? Well you are about to be amazed. Now you can stay with your vehicle while unlocking it.
Call the person who has your extra set of remote keyless entry keys, tell them to put the extra set to the phone pointing the signal to the microphone, turn your cellular phone towards your vehicle, press the unlock button, BAM!
Your vehicle is now unlocked.
Trust me this actually does work. I am one of those people that forget my keys in my vehicle all the time so this comes in quite handy. It doesn’t even matter how far away the other person is.
Now save yourself time trying to get someone to bring you your extra keys when they can just unlock your vehicle from home.
3/Don’t you hate it when you are in a middle of a conversation and your cell phone’s battery is getting real low?
This third useful thing will come in very handy especially if you need your phone for a short period of time till you can get it to a charger.
There is hidden battery power in your phone. Now you probably never even thought this was possible, but it is!
Simply type in the following into your cell phone “*3370#”, now your phone will then restart and when you turn it back on you’ll see that your cell phone’s battery has increased by approximately 50%.
This comes in real handy when you need a little extra charge to get you through a little longer till you get your cell phone onto its charger finally.
4/Are you always worried about having your cell phone stolen, but are not entirely sure where to get your serial number from for your phone.
I’ll explain to you how you can get your cell phone’s serial number. Keep this number in a safe place just in case your phone is ever actually stolen.
To get your serial number type in the following code into your phone ” *#06# “, once you type the code in a 15 digit number will display on your cell phone’s screen and you will now have your serial number.
Give your cellular phone service provider this code and they can block all access to it making the phone completely useless even if there is a swap out of the SIM card.
5 /Are you one of those people who always tend to be in desperate need of a phone number, but never have a phone book near you?
You probably tend to use the service 411 and always get charged, correct? Well stop!
No longer pay for your 411 calls that seem to be costing you $1.00+ per use.
Instead dial this number into your phone: (800) FREE-411 or (800) 373-3411. Works in the U.S. only.
You may still be charged your regular cellular phone minute charges, but that is much better then spending your regular cellular phone minute charges plus the $1.00 or more to get a phone number.
There you go Try these five interesting features out and see if they make your cell phone use more efficient.
