"4 THINGS YOU PROBABLY NEVER KNEW YOUR MOBILE PHONE COULD DO

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.
True

SECOND Have you locked your keys in the car?
could someone try this? i don't have two keys.... sounds good though

Does your car have remote keyless entry? This may come in handy someday. Good reason to own a cell phone: If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their mobile phone from your cell phone.

Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the person at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the mobile phone on their end. Your car will unlock. Saves someone from having to
drive your keys to you. Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who has the other 'remote' for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk).
Editor's Note: It works fine! We tried it out and it unlocked our car over a mobile phone!'

THIRD Boost Hidden Battery Power

Imagine your mobile battery is very low. To activate, press the keys *3370# Your mobile will restart with this reserve and the instrument will show a 50% increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when you charge your mobile next time.

FOURTH How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone?

doesn't work on mine
To check your Mobile phone's serial number, key in the following digits on your phone * # 0 6 #

A 15 digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe. When your phone get 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.

email spam, sorry

The second one you posted there sounds like a pretty neat trick to bad I don't have any way of testing it out, but I sure would be interested to see if it works for someone that tries it.

I call bullshit. No way that's possible.

Well I don't think so either, also you don't need two keys. You could have a friend walk far enough away so that the remote doesn't reach the car and try it that way.

I do however agree with skizo. I am pretty sure a keyless remote works on a signal similar to a radio signal not a sound or noise. I will try it soo and get back to you

Well, doesn't work for me on sony ericsson w300i.

FIFTH
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) FREE 411, or (800) 373-3411
without incurring any charge at all.
Program this into your cell phone now

Been using that for years and works quite well.

About half the time you're required to listen to a :30 ad, but whoopdie-doo. :0
