TWO 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 Services

The Emergency Number worldwide for all Mobile Phones is 112.

If you find yourself out of the coverage area of your mobile network and there is an emergency, dial 112 and your mobile will search any existing network in your area to establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly this number 112 can be dialed even if the keypad is locked.
This works on all phones worldwide and is free.

SECOND

Have you locked your keys in the car?

If your car has 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 thousands of miles away.

Calling 112 on a mobile WILL connect to any network in Australia, it doesn't even have to be your network, just one that is in range. The powers that be tell us this fact every time we have any training at work.
