Mobile Phones are slowly-slowly becoming the most important part of our life. Lots of people are not aware that mobile phone can actually become a life saver or an emergency tool for survival in case of some accidental situation. There are a few things that can be done in times of severe need from mobile phone which can be helpful to us.
Here are those four things which you can do from your mobile phone in case of an emergency:
1> Have you locked your keys in side the Car:
In that case you must be thinking what to do? You have an extra pair of key, but that is in your house which is around 45 kilometers away from the place where you are right now. What will you do?
Your mobile phone can become useful at this stage, unless your keys have remote keyless entry; I mean the center lock facility. You can call any one at your home from your cell phone and hold your mobile phone about a foot from your car door. Now tell the person at your home to press the unlock button at their end, but he or she should press the unlock button holding it near the mobile phone on their end.
The magic will happen and your car will unlock. So the motive is that it will save the time and saves some one to reach to you with the keys. Distance is not an object any more.
2> Emergency Number 112:
Are you aware from the emergency number 112? This is a global emergency number which can be useful in case of any urgency. Even if your mobile phone is out of the coverage area then too you can use 112 and guess what, the cell phone will search any available network and connect to the emergency number. Even if your keys are lock, then too pressing 112 will unlock the keys.
3> How to increase the Battery Power without recharging the batteries:
Are you aware from the fact that in case of emergency you can increase the battery strength of your mobile phone without recharging it? It might happen that during any traveling your battery will decrease and you don’t have the charging facility. In that case, you can dial *3370# and your mobile phone will restart. After the restart the mobile phone will have a 50% increase in the battery.
The best thing is that this reserve battery will get charged when you next time recharge your mobile phone.
4> Disable the stolen mobile phone:
Do you know how can you disable any mobile phone in case it got stolen? A 15 digit code which will be in fact the serial number of the mobile phone can disable it from future use after it fell into wrong hands. *#06# is the number through which we can get the serial number of the mobile phone. When your phone gets stolen, you can call 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.
Well if every body will do this then of course people will never think to steal any mobile phone, because they will never be able to use it.
So these are the four surprising uses of your mobile phones. I hope you will like them, please do provide us your valuable feedback in the form of comments.

Sorry to bust your bubble.
It is already a big idea to brand a small Wordpress blog as a news site, but you’re definitely not helping yourself out by reporting on common myths. I would suggest doing more research before you publish misleading and untrue articles.
