CELL PHONE TIPS

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.

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.

Free Directory Service for Cells:  Cell phone companies are charging us
$1.00 to $1.75 or more for 411 information calls when they
don't have to.  Most of us do not carry a telephone directory in our
vehicle, which makes this situation even more of a problem. 
When you need to use the 411 information option, simply dial:
 (800) 373-3411 without incurring any charge at all.
