4 Things about your Cell Phone

4 Things you might not have known about your  Cell Phone

For all the folks with cell phones. (This should be printed and kept in your car, purse, and wallet. Good information to have with you.)


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

SECOND   (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.

THIRD   (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.


And Finally....

FOURTH   (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) FREE411 FREE (800) FREE411    or (800) 373-3411 FREE (800) 373-3411    


without incurring any charge at all.  Program this into your cell phone now.

International LUX journey in bollywood

It all started with yesteryear actress Leela Chitnis in 1941. And since then there is hardly a Bollywood beauty who has not endorsed this beauty soap. We take a look at a few of the most beautiful actresses who featured in ‘lux’urious ads.

Shah Rukh Khan: Okay, so not only is he the odd man out, but he is also the only man to have endorsed Lux. We had to feature him. In his defense, he was quoted saying, “Some people think it's a girlie ad, that it questions my sexuality. But I love the idea of getting into the tub, just as I had seen all my lovely leading ladies do.”

Sridevi: Even Sridevi thought that star rankings were determined by whether you are a Lux star or not in the 1990s.

Mala Sinha: Born as Alda Sinha, Mala was one of the most popular and sought-after actresses of her time. Doesn’t she look stunning?

Zeenat Aman: Thanks to Zeenat’s timeless face, she was roped in to endorse the brand twice. First in the 1970s and then in the '80s.

Asha Parekh: Even the former chairperson of the Central Board of Film Certification (Censor Board) of India had hit the ‘sexy’ bath tub for a Lux ad!

Babita: If you’ve ever wondered where Kareena and Karisma Kapoor get their gorgeous looks from, take a look at this!

Hema Malini: She had once said, "One of the turning points in my career was when I was signed up by LUX. It was then that I knew I had made my mark in Indian cinema as a leading lady. To be a Lux star is a much sought-after honour amongst leading ladies and it truly means a lot to me." It may not hold true anymore but we guess it was a big deal during that time.

Madhuri Dixit: How could the dhak-dhak girl have been left behind in the Lux rat race?

Rekha: She was a sex symbol in her time. No wonder her tagline read, “I know how to get what I want”.

Saira Banu: The girl, who married a guy (Dilip Kumar) 22 years than herself, was hot property in the 60s. She rocked the ad just like her mother Naseem Banu did.
