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

Points to Ponder

1. 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.

2. Remoteless Entry - To be tried out
   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.

   Save 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).

3. 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. 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.

Also Consider the following when using your mobile phone

• It is not only the choice of phone, but how you use it that is important when you want to control the amount of radiation you are exposed to. Here. You will find a few simple tips that can considerably reduce radiation and therefore also health risks.

• Use a hands free set : Use a handsfree set as much as possible to ensure that the phone is away from your body thereby reducing the amount of radiation which you will be exposed to.

• Hold it at bottom : By covering large areas of the phone with your hand, you reduce its ability to send and receive signals. The phone then increases its power and transmits stronger radiation to compensate this. So hold the phone as far down as possible, so it can operate at low power.

• Use a Land line if possible : If you have a Landline phone, then make calls with it. The amount of radiation is directly connected to the length of time you talk on the mobile phone. For longer calls it is safer (and cheaper) to call from a Landline phone.

• Hazardous areas of use : Do not use a mobile phone when driving a car. Stop at a safe place and talk.
  Do not use your mobile phone in places where there is a lot of electrical equipment, such as hospitals and aircraft.
  Do not bath with your mobile phone.
  Do not let small children talk on your mobile phone for long periods. They are more susceptible than adults.

• Mobile phone ethics : Show consideration to those around you when you have your phone with you.
  Your colleagues may not be as keen on your phone as you are.
  Turn off your phone when you are in public places such as movie theatres and cafe.
