I checked my cell phone, do with this info as you wish. 112 is another cell phone emergency number, and with a battery problem you access the emergency power reserve by dialing 3370#. It never hurts to exhaust all avenues, for the most part. As for my heading, the History Channel is running a series titled "The Universe", they relayed a story about a solar storm that started telegraph lines on fire. The moral is, is any of our technology immune to the forces of nature. Erik
