Don't know if it was posted before, but still useful.........

4 THINGS YOU PROBABLY NEVER KNEW
YOUR MOBILE 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
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 dialled
even if the keypad is locked. Try it out.

SECOND
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 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
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?
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.

Thanks Mike for this useful information. But I think that point 3 (battery issue) is only for Nokia phones, as I tried it with my HTC and it didn't work. Any other phones than Nokia???

You are right xof, in item 2, I do have a keyless entry, no way the car will be locked if the keys are inside the car 8O
even if you want to forget your keys inside, the car wont let you

Thats true, didn't even think of that. How are you supposed to lock your car if the keys are still inside? Good Point Braveheart
