Free Cell Phone Service
So you’ve had your mobile phone for over ten years now. You’re probably subscribed to your network operator for a long time too, but did you know that your cell phone could do other things for free?
Apart from the usual texting and calling, and web browsing from time to time, there are other “hidden” free cell phone services that you can actually try.
First on the list of free cell phone service is using the Emergency Number. If you are in a sticky situation and all you have left is your mobile phone, dial 112.
This number works worldwide and should connect you to your network immediately. The cool thing about this free service is that it works for any brand and unit of cell phone and can be dialed even when the keypad is locked.
The second free cell phone service is when you are running low on battery and you have to use the mobile phone for emergency. What you need to do is to press the code *3370# and wait for your phone to reboot.
After restarting, you might notice that the battery life has been extended for another 50% and you’ll be able to make at least one phone call or text message. This free service might not work on every existing phone in the market.
When obtaining a new phone, the wise thing to do is to get its serial number and keep it somewhere safe. This can be achieved by pressing *#06#. This free cell phone service will be useful in case your phone gets stolen.
Report the 15-digit serial number to your provider and they will block it for you. Once this happens, the thieves won’t be able to use it (except for a paper weight) because the phone will become blocked.
The other free cell phone service can be used for free directory assistance to cell phone users. All the users have to key in is the (800) Free 411 and this will immediately connect the call to the directory operators without incurring any charges. To be able to use this service, the customer should ask the network provider about the option since not all of them can be used for free.
One of the main advantages of having a cell phone is its number of features that can be used everyday. With these free services in mind, all you have to do is take note and maximize the benefits to get your money’s worth.
