    Here is some useful things you prolly did not know you can do with your cell phone


    Subject: Cell Phone

    THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW YOUR CELL PHONE 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:

    FIRST
    Subject: 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
    Subject: 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 mobile 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
    Subject: Hidden Battery Power
    Imagine your cell battery is very low. 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.

    FOURTH
    Subject: 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 gets 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.

    And Finally...

    FIFTH
    Subject: Dialing Information for free 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.

    This is the kind of information people don't mind receiving, so pass
    it on to your family and friends.

    You guys are so think.
    The car unlocking this DOES NOT work, the signal from the remote can't be used through a mobile. This is absolute rubbish, just copied and pasted from some site.
    sorry radio signal does not transmit over cell phones, only audio sound.

    Also, the 'hidden battery life' trick is a load of crap too, i get you some links to prove them both.

    The 4th one doesnt work either, just tried it, the code for it should be much longer, it all together should spell out warranty or something :) - think
