Some useful tips for the users of mobile phone for emergencies:

1) Emergency number: 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 while the keypad is locked. Try it out only in a real emergency.

2) Hidden battery power: Imagine your cell battery is very low and you are expecting an important call and you don't have a charger. Nokia instrument comes with a reserve battery. To activate, press the keys *3370#. Your cell 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 next time. You can also buy an emergency charge kit for RM10 at mall. This connector plugs into your receptacle and allows for a few minutes of emergency chat time or SMS-HELP!
