hey u hav already given the answer now wht shuld i write,

but u missed some more imp facts they are:

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 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.

and similar to 112 there is another no. 911 which is also used as an emergency no. as these no. r connected thrugh satellite they search their own network whether the network of ur sim is comng or not

*II*

* Subject: Have you locked your keys in the car? Does you car have remote keys ?*

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).

*III*

Subject: Hidden Battery power

Imagine your cell battery is very low , you are expecting an important call and you don't have a charger. Nokia instrument comes with a reserve battery . 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.

*IV*

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 .

hope this information will be enough for all the yahoo users to get helped in emergency

Oh dear! You really know a lot about cell phones and poetry. Interesting information. I'll save this all.

These are myths sweeite. If anyone believes the second one I really pity them as their life must be a little bit harder than the average bears.

Second 911 is what you use on the phone. If your keypad is locked it won't work. However on a phone that you do not pay service on, 911 will still work. That is why you donate your old cell phones. They provide them to elderly people who cannot afford a phone so they can still call 911.
