Got an e mail the other day and thought id put it up for a laugh, not sure how much is true though Love to try number 2 hehe 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. Also in Australia, the Australian emergency number 000 can be dialled whilst your mobile phone keyboard is locked. This is another reason why 000 receives so many false emergency calls! 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!: star-hash-zero-six-hash: * # 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. Not only the above, but also in Australia your stolen phone is added to a "Stolen Mobile Phone" database, so if your phone is found later on it can be returned to you. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I'm pretty sure that 112 uses satellite technology to make the call, not search for an existing network. And the "Hidden Battery Power" doesn't appear to work on my N70..... Aj!! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

LOL The second and third ones are absolute lies! hahahaha. I bet it gets people trying them though. Note: You can also dial 911 while the keypad is locked. Most people know about the 112 as it displays it on your phone if you have no reception.

yer i sat there trying to get the extra batery power even though there is a charger at my desk haha Yer I think the 000 or 112 works, even if there is no sim card in.

Yeah, it does. Seen it many times when drunk. *keypad mashing* A car remote transmits a frequency, not a sound.

yeh but cant that be relayed through a phone? i thought the phone thing actually worked

the 50% battery trick does work... on pre colour screen nokia phone... 3310-3315 ect... used to do it all the time when my battery was getting low... Also if you press *#0000# on your nokia handset to see your handset model, software version ect...

(to get your imei number press *#06# and its the 15digit number, or its usually under the battery)

just go to any 3 outlet, and tehy'll do it on the spot. im using a 6288, which we got brand new through the business, and i got them to unlock it. it was a long time customer 'gift' from them.

theres plenty of software on the internet to do it... i can unlock anything nokia, samsung, motorola ect.. some just require a pin code and others you just flash the phone and load new firmware..
