FIVE THINGS YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW YOUR CELL PHONE COULD DO
Мне прислали 5 очень полезных советов по пользованию мобильником, детали под катом - по-английски и краткий перевод.
П.С.: комментарии знающих говорят, что пара рекомендаций - лажа. Интересно.
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 Emergency
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 Emergency
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 Emergency
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 appears onthe screen. This number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it some where 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....
FIVE: Free Directory Service for Cells
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.

Краткий перевод.
1. В случае несчастного случая и отсутствия доступа к сети (вне покрытия по своей сети): 112. Ловит ближайшую сеть даже при заблокированной клавиатуре. (Вместо 911 с обычного телефона)
2. При забытых в машине ключах и наличии запасных дома. Позвонить с мобильника на мобильник кому-нибудь, кто дома, попросить щелкнуть дистанционкой вблизи мобильника дома - держа свой мобильник около машины.
3. Если батарейка сильно села, *3370# включает резерв. Резерв перезаряжается при следующей зарядке.
4. Ввод * # 0 6 # показывает серийный номер телефона. По нему провайдер может отключить украденный у вас телефон - даже если в нем заменили сим-карту. Рекомендуется записать номер и держать дома.
5. Бесплатная директория 411 с мобильного - (800) FREE 411, [ (800) 373-34]
