THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW YOUR CELLPHONE 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:
*I*
* The Emergency
Number worldwide for **Mobile** is 112 .* If you find yourself out of
coverage area of your mobile network and there is an emergency, dial 112

emergency number for you, and interestingly this number 112 can be
dialed even if the keypad is locked.

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 hone
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!"*
