Three Useful Cell Numbers?

[flying]

I have not verified these work in Thailand but thought it may be of interest to others........

I put the emergency battery into my contacts list just in case

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 (Hidden Battery Power)

Imagine your cell battery is very low. To activate, press the keys *3370#. Your cell phone 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 phone next time.

THIRD (How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone? )

To check your Mobile phone's serial number, key in the following Digits on your phone:

*#06# .

A 15-digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe.

If your phone is 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.

Thanks that one has even more of them............

The three I got were in a email sent to me.

That remote lock one sounds interesting too.

But once unlocked you still cannot start the car eh?

Have you tried any of them?

I tried the serial number one & it worked but then I already had that in my settings.

PS:

Ah I see the bottom of the link you sent balks most of these as baloney

Thanks for the heads up....too bad I thought the battery life one would be useful
