4 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
                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 dialled
                even if the keypad is locked. Try it out.

                SECOND
                Have you locked your keys in the car?
                Does your car have 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 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).

                Editor's Note: It works fine! We tried it out and
                it unlocked our car over a mobile phone!'

                THIRD
                Hidden  Battery  Power
                Imagine your mobile battery is very low.
                To activate, press the keys *3370#
                Your mobile will restart with this reserve and the
                instrument will show a 50% increase in battery.

                This reserve will get charged when
                you charge your mobile next time.

                FOURTH
                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.



And last â€" not cell phone related:



                ATM - PIN Number Reversal - Good to Know
                If you should ever be forced by a robber to
                withdraw money from an ATM machine, you can
                notify the police by entering your PIN # in reverse.

                For example, if your pin number is 1234,
                then you would put in 4321.

                The ATM system recognizes that your PIN number is
                backwards from the ATM card you placed in the machine.

                The machine will still give you the money you requested,
                but unknown to the robber, the police will be
                immediately dispatched to the location.

                This information was recently broadcast on CTV by Crime Stoppers
                however it is seldom used because people just don't know about it.
                Please pass this along to everyone.

                This is the kind of information people don't mind
                receiving, so pass it on to your family and friends

Anywhere in the world hay?? 

yep so they say better than ring 000 or the other emergency number around the world

...hey I just checked my bank balance and its ZERO now      WTF??  

PS: and in my experience the ONLY time police are immediately dispatched to any location is when you're about to attempt a run at the land speed record along your favourite piece of straight road.  Not that anybody here would do any such thing, Your Honour.

found out a good one early this year, when I caught the idiots that stole my bike came back for more....the missus rang 000 and said "we have 2 thieves in our basement garage, ah, yes, well, my husband is standing at the top of the driveway with a handaxe waiting for them to come out"

result:

3 squad cars with 10 officers all geared up in less than 3 minutes!

they jumped the back fence, got caught in the alley by the boys in blue and then they 'resisted arrest' for a few minutes by the sounds of em! 

Hats off to Chris and the crew at CA Cycleworks once again !! 

Ordered some parts last week and they lob on the doorstep 5 days later, good stuff I reckon.   

Makes some of the locals look downright slack!!
