In this article, we are going to learn what your mobile phone can do in a number of different occasions. In grave emergencies, your phone could be a lifesaver, take a look.

Emergency services.

 If by any chance you find yourself out of the coverage area of your mobile phone network and there is an emergency, dial 112, your phone will automatically search for any existing network in your area to establish the emergency number for you. Isn’t this great? And more interestingly, this emergency number (112) can be dialed even when the keypad is locked. This number works on all phones globally and it is toll-free.

 

 In-case you locked your keys in the car.

If you own a remote keyless car and it happens that you have locked the keys in the car and the spare keys are at your home, Call someone at home on their mobile phone from your phone, hold your mobile phone about a foot from your car door and ask the person to press the unlock button on the spare key holding it near the phone on their end, your keyless remote car will unlock instantly. This method actually saves you the time of having someone drive the keys to you.

Distance is no obstacle, you could be miles away, and it works.

The first step towards disabling the phone is to acquire the phones serial number. To check the phones serial number, key in the following digits on your mobile phone: #06# (not forgetting the asterisk) a 15 digits code will appear, that is unique to your handset. write it down and take it to your service provider, they will be able to block the phone, even if the sim is changed, the phone will be absolutely useless to the user.
