4 Things You Probably Never Knew Your Mobile Phone Could Do

[hoppy73]

Hi thought i would share this info with who ever cares to read it

There are a few things that can be done in times of grave emergencies. Your mobile phone can actually be a lifesaver
Check out the things that you can do with it:

First

The Emergency Number world-wide 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 - 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 home if someone is in 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 to their mobile phone. 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 boot.

“It works fine! We tried it out and it unlocked our car over the mobile phone!”

Third - Hidden Battery Power

If 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 next charge your phone.

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 phone. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe. If your phone is 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 whoever stole it can't use it or sell it on either. If everybody does this, there would be no point in people stealing mobile phones.

First and forth are well known third doesn't work and bit dubious with the second one too. Maybe if your car remote uses sound to open the door it'll work but not sure how a telephone can send an infrared signal from a car key via the phone lol

Bit early for April Fools
