“INFORMATION TECHNOLGY” has emerged as a bubbling and a progressive field since the last decade. It is the key factor for transforming the world into, what we now know as,


“A Global Village”, making the sharing of knowledge and information just a click away. Computers and Information Technology is soon to be a part-and-parcel of our daily lives.

5 Things You Probably Never Knew Your Mobile Phone 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:

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 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 mobile 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 boot).

Editor's Note: It works fine! We tried it out and it unlocked our car over 
a mobile phone!'


THIRD

Hidden Battery Power

Imagine your mobile battery is very low.
To activate, press the keys *3370# Your mobile will restart with this reserve

and the instrument will show a 50% increase in battery.

This reserve will get charged when you charge your mobile 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 get 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.

 

FIFTH
ATM - PIN Number Reversal - Good to Know

If you should ever be forced by a robber to withdraw money from an ATM 

machine, you can notify the police by entering your PIN # in reverse.

For example, if your pin number is 1234, then you would put in 4321.

The ATM system recognizes that your PIN number is backwards from the 
ATM card you placed in the machine.

The machine will still give you the money you requested, but unknown to the
robber, the police will be immediately dispatched to the location.

This information was recently broadcast on CTV by Crime Stoppers. However 
it is seldom used because people just don't know about it.
 

Please pass this along to everyone.

This is the kind of information people don't mind receiving, so pass it 

on to your family and friends
