1) THINGS YOU SHOULD DO BEFORE YOU LOSE YOUR MOBILE PHONE
Before anyone loses his / her mobile phone, they should first check
the serial number(IMEI) of the phone by keying in [*#06#].
A 13-digit number will appear on the screen. Please record it down
and keep it for reference.
In case the phone is lost, the rightful owner can call the service
provider (Singtel, M1, Starhub, etc) to disable the phone by
providing the serial number.
That means, the person who took the phone cannot use it at all even
if they change into a new SIM card.
If everyone knows this procedure, there would not be much use
taking away someone's lost phone.
2) MOBILE USERS - NUMBER CAN BE DIALED WITHOUT SIM CARD DURING
EMERGENCY.
The Emergency Number worldwide for GSM Mobile is 112 and not 999.
You can dial 112 even without a SIM Card.
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.
Do share this important info with others too. Hope you'll never
need to use it though! And interestingly... This number 112 can be
dialed even while the keypad is locked.
Please circulate this message to all your friends.
