5 Things You Never Knew Your Cell Phone Could Do

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< BR>Have you locked your keys in the car?

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 cell 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 mo bile 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 cell phone!'

THIRD
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.

FOURTH
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.

When your phone get stolen, you can phone your service provider
and give them this code. They will then be able to blo ck 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...

FIFTH
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 t incurring
any charge at all. Program this into your cell phone now.

Hope its not a repost, but if it is, how do we know if everyone has seen it?

5 Things You Never Knew Your Cell Phone Could Do

LOL man.. if you don't know anything about cell phones, why post the wrong information? Almost everything in those so-called "tips" is a load of crock..

112 is not an international emergency #. Unlocking your doors via a combination of remote and cell phones is simply not possible due to frequency mis-match. *3370# is for EFR and not some BS battery reserve. Besides, that's for Nokias and not Kyoceras, SEs, Samsungs or Motos. *#06# will display the IMEI on the screen but not all MSOs operate solely on the basis of IMEIs. Btw, its ****ing easy to replicate IMEIs. 411 calls might be free.. but you could incur a talk-time charge.

What? There aint no way you can unlock your car with a cell phone. Now if you could program the phone to send out a signal to do so, that would be sick!

actually, you can do the unlocking trick, when you push the unlock button it just sends out a frequency that can be sent through cell phones, if you dont believe it, try it out. as for all the others ones i have no clue if they are true or not.

ROTFL @ all the crazy believers on here.. you could be the next Sergey Brin and Larry Page if you accomplish that on video without resorting to any faggy tactics. Good luck and keep us posted.

Hey I just copied and pasted it from an email I recieved. I am still not convinced myself, but I will try some of these.

Maybe a phone call to.......

I tried that battery reserve on my phone and it didn't work.

That's a long range remote and has nothing to do with your cell phone. How about a drinks bet to prove this, eh? PM your address and I'll be happy to be the first official IA mythbuster.

Last I checked, most OEM systems in the US operate at 315/433 MHz, while the voice bandwidth on a phone isn't more than 4KHz of audio. Unless a new technology came in while I was sleeping last night, it simply isn't possible. Try it from your office some day.
