I am the wost cell phone owner in the universe. I have had phones stolen, ran over, death by toilet bowl drowning, and much more.  I think someone told my most recent HTC the horror stories of my past electronics and it got so scared it crapped its self (no joke, it stopped working without any explaination).  The sad part is that I have become so relient on my cell that I cant live without it.

I recently received an email listing some cool things you can do with your phone in emergency situations. I honestly have not tried any of these yet, but if the situation ever comes up, I would rather have the chance of one of these things working rather than finding myself S.O.L.

#1- Emergency Number To  Save You From Dumb Crap- The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112. This is supposed to work even outside of coverage area. If you dial 112, your cell will scan for any existing network to connect your call.  Got in a wreck? phone broken?  you can dial 112 even if your phone is locked.  I feel sorry for my fellow touch screen users...

#2- Low Battery Cause I Used It Up Playing Angry Birds- I forget to charge my phone on a regular basis. Next thing you know, dead battery and as soon as you charge your phone, you have missed 7 calls from Mommy asking why you are ignoring her.  Rumor has it that if you dial the keys *3370# your battery will pull power from the reserve and give you 50% more life. 

#3- You Stole My Phone So F**k You Back- you can completly disable your phone in case someone permenantly borrows it.  By punching in *#06# you can check your phone's serial number.  Write it down and put it somewhere only you can find it... like right next to your porn stash... this way if anyone jacks your phone, call your provider, give them the serial number, the phone will be completly usless.

#4- Sorry I Cant Memorize The Yellow Pages- For those of you that dont use 411 because of charges or dont wanna use up your data plan browsing for a number... you can call  (800) FREE411 or (800) 373-3411. Its Compleatly free so the next time you call that escourt service, you dont have to pay the $1.00 on top of whatever shes charging you... te he... on top...

Good Luck!
