I got this email from a friend this morning and thought I would share it. Does anybody know if these even work? I have heard of the FREE 411 before and have used it but the others I am not sure about.
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 ha ve 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 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!"
>
>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 w ill show a
>50% increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when you charge
>your cell 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 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
>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.
