In order for sending e-mail, send an SMS with this syntax (always separated by spaces):

EMA name@domain text-of-your-email

Example: in order to send an email to [email protected] , do the following:

EMA [email protected] text-of-your-email

if your phone cant print @ replace it with a !

And then send this message to the folloving number: +39 338 8641732

Free SMS Center numbers

You pay a little fee depending of your provider, BUT YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY something

+491722270300 or +358405202999 or +352021100003

Codes (that they dont tell you in the manual)

To check the IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) type: *#06#

Information you get from the IMEI:
XXXXXX XX XXXXXX X
TAC FAC SNR SP

TAC = Type Approval Code (first 2 digits = country code).

FAC = Final Assembly Code (For Nokia phonfiltered=10).

SNR = Serial Number.

SP = Spare (always SP=0).

To check the phone's software (firmware revision information) type: *#0000# ( or for some phones outher then Nokia 61XX you can try *#model nummber# ex. for 8110 *#8110#)

Information you can get from the phone's software version:
V 3.14
28-11-97
NSE-3

1st line: Software version.
2nd line: The date of the software release.

Revealing Headphone and Car-Kit Menus

Think about this: If you do these tricks the new menus can not be erased after the procedure. But it's not dangerous or harmful for your phone

To enable the headset-function, you have to short-circuit the "3" and "4". After a short time there is "Headset" on the display Now, menu 3-6 is now enabled!

To enable the carkit-function you have to short-circuit the "4" and "5". After a short time, "Car" is shown on the display and the menu 3-7 is enabled!!

This Trick is for you how want to hear more then your supposed to !

If you short-circuit the left and the right contact with the middle contact ("3", "6" and "9") the Nokia Software hangs! The profile "Headset" will be activated. Before you do this, just active the "auto call receive" function in the headphone profile and set the ringing volume to "mute" Now you can use your phone for checking out what people are talking about in a room. Place the phone somewhere stratidic and call your phone! The phone receives the call without ringing and you can listen to what people are talking about! .....gr8...

Serial numbers on your 6110

For more info type: *#92702689#
The first screen gives you the serial and IMEI number.
Then there is the Date of Manufacture: ex. Made 1297
Then there is the Purchasing Date: ex. Purchasing Date 0298
Then there is the last Repair Date: ex. Repaired: 0000

Note: you must turn off the phone to exit after this test, because of the last function, "transfer user data" which doesn't work as "standard"....You can use this mode only to transfer all Calender, Profile and Callers Group Information to another phone (eg. if you are replacing phone or configuring phones for use within your company or when a particular phone doesn't works correctly )

Activating and deactivating EFR and HFR, on your 6110

*3370# to activate Enhanced Full Rate - Makes calls sound better, but decreases the battery life by about 5%.

#3370# to deactivate Enhanced Full Rate

*4720# to activate Half Rate Mode - Drops call quality, but increases battery life by about 30%.

#4720# to deactivate Half Rate Mode
