            Copy this and put it in your car.    

            There are a few things that can be done in times of grave
            emergencies.
            Your cell phone can actually be a life saver or an emergency
            tool for survival.

            Check out the things that you can do with it:

            Things you never knew your cell phone can do:

            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 dialed
            even if the keypad is locked.    Try it out.

            Second         
            Have you locked your keys in the car?
            Does your car have remote key less 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
            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 gets 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.
