THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW YOUR CELL PHONE COULD DO

[pavanred]

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: -

* 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.**

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).


*It works fine! We tried it out and it
unlocked our car over a cell phone!"*

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.

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 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.

haha..that's rediculous! Like saying you can change the channels of someone's TV over the phone too.

I haven't tried this personally but I have my doubts. The cell phones are designed to communicate people's voice, which are in the low frequency range where it's audible. The unlock/lock on the car key remote operates in much higher frequency range where it's not audible and therefore cannot be transferred over the phone. Same with TV remote.

Still, if I'm ever in this situation, I'm certainly going to try.

Sigh...a simple check on snopes.com blows the majority out of the water..these have been circulating since the early days of "cellphones" as opposed to car phones and the old big as a loaf of bread phones...myth
