 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....
FORTH (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 or (800) 373-3411
without incurring any charge at all. Program this into your cell phone now.

Change is Never Easy

Change is never easy to accept.  We like things just the way they have always been.  It is important to remember that if change is not embraced, the future will not be positive.  It was not easy for people to give up their horses for cars, but imagine our lives without cars.  Phones were at one time in history a luxury, and now the phone travels with us.  If houses do not keep pace with the needs of people today, the neighborhood will soon be put out to pasture just like the horse.

We face such ever changing times in real estate.  Here in Las Vegas,  Assembly Bill 284 has practically halted the foreclosure process, but has forced banks into a more cooperative stance with short sales.  The process can be a nightmare and uncertain.  When we do reach a successful close, it is a positive, whether the buyer be an investor, first time home buyer, vacation home buyer etc...

Real Estate is "Real" and now is a good time to buy.  We are fortunate here in the United States to have the opportunities available to us in Real Estate.  Forget the naysayers....... think ahead and buy now.
