THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW YOUR CELLPHONE COULD DO

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: -
1

EMERGENCY

* The Emergency Number worldwide for **Mobile** is 112 ...* If you find

yourself out of 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.**

Have you locked your keys in the car? Does you car have remote keys?


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 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 cell phone!"*

Hidden Battery power


Imagine your cell battery is very low , you are expecting an important call

and you don't have a charger. Nokia instrument comes with a reserve

battery. To activate, press the keys *3370# Your cell 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 next time.

How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone?


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.

Please spread this useful information around

Wow
Good one for the leaving keys at home, gonna try that.

I think you will be dissapointed and look a bit silly.

Also all the emergency numbers work. 911, 999, etc and all are international.

A man without a project is like a like a woman without a shopping list.

Ive changed my mms settings so any mms messages are relayed through my garden shed, therefore bypassing the 35p a message. It now costs about 2p a msg via wap. And my shed emails them on. Have a look select the shed telephonic imaging system lol. (Its hosted via my adsl connection so dont expect massive speed!)

Did you really try this Steve? The bandwidth of a telephone does in no way encompas the transmision frequency of car remotes (not even close).

And that battery number is bollocks too.

You cheeky monkey,
Guess what ive been trying to do all day!!!!!!
You mustve been using a pre war car alarm ste. LOL

I have heard of this one before some car alarms emit a UHF sound wave which can transmit down the lines and out the earpiece of the phone, but the set would need a speaker on it, and ure car would need to be ancient, or the alarm really shite.

I know Benross has just forwarded the email but all you doubting Thomases out there - you can unlock the latest generation of Mercedes using you mobile in the method described as a couple of the boys in training heard about it ( I work for DaimlerChrysler UK - we are head office for Merc, Smart, Dodge, Jeep & Chrysler) and they tried it and it did work a couple of years ago.
