DO YOU HEAR WHAT I HEAR?

Do you hear what I hear?
Said the desert wind to the shepherd boy!!!
Do you heart what I hear?

There are some ring tones pleasing to the ears, at the same time, some are irritating and are just plain horrible. They can be entertaining if you choose the right ring tones carefully.

Here is a true story of a man who was rescued when a shepherd was drawn to his unanswered mobile phone. The shepherd was wandering in the desert with his flock when he heard the sound of a mobile ring tone tinkling away in the distance. When he identified the source of the noise, he found a man lying unconscious next to his car on a remote desert road. The shepherd answered the call and told the man, who happened to be a relative of the unconscious man, on the other end that the owner of the phone was not well. The man was able to bring a doctor after the shepherd described the location. The man was saved from fatal dehydration by a doctor, a shepherd and a tinkling ring tone of the mobile phone.

Well, one useful purpose that ring tones serve is that they notify the owner of the mobile phone to an incoming call.

halooohh... halooohhh....
sooori... rung numberrrr!!!

MOBILE PHONE!!!

Here's one very interesting article about mobile phone shared by a Saudi friend. I don't know about this until now --

4 Things You 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 lifesaver or an emergency tool for survival. Check out the things that you can do with it:

1. 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 dialed even if the keypad is locked. Try it out.

Also in Australia, the Australian emergency number 000 can be dialed whilst your mobile phone keyboard is locked. This is another reason why 000 receives so many false emergency calls!

2. 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).

Editors Note: It works fine! We tried it out and it unlocked our car over a mobile phone!"

3. 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.

4. How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone?

To check your Mobile phone's serial number, key in the following digits on your phone:
star-hash-zero-six-hash * # 0 6 #

A15-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 gets 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.

Not only the above, but also in Australia your stolen phone is added to a "Stolen Mobile Phone" database, so if your phone is found later on it can be returned to you.
