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 num ber 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 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 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 will show a 50%
increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when you charge your cell
next time.


FOURTH

Subject: 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.
And Finally....


FIFTH
Subject: 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.

A lot of these are hoaxes:


Emergency Number worldwide: False - http://www.snopes.com/science/mobile.asp

Remote Key access via Cell: False - http://www.snopes.com/autos/techno/keyless.asp


Hidden Reserve Battery Power: Partially False - http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/household/cellphones.asp


Stolen Phone – Partially True - http://www.snopes.com/crime/prevent/celltheft.asp


It is a good idea to always check the validity of these types of emails

I agree, Srijana98. Almost all of the time, I do not believe the hoxes spread via the chain e-mails; and if they every sound close to the truth, I double check on the Internet. I got the above information a few times on my e-mail. Since, some of the features mentioned there do work, I think it is still imformative.

"and if they every sound close to the truth, I double check on the Internet"

Pretty much unbelievable (I'd have said bul1shit)... the car key is unlocked using some frequency and the sound on the cellular phone is another (must be within audio range). Thank god the poster is not say, "Call your buddy at home, take the cellular phone close to a water tap, ask your buddy to run the tap at home, and fill your jug with water from the tap near you".

Timi haru le afno Nepali pana yaha pani na chodne bhayo...someone is sharing the information he/she receivied from some one else...and you guys are after him/her. Shame on you...just try it...if it works..its good...else it is fine...i see no reason going after the person who is simply sharing the information he/she has...
Thanks "tisa" for your information.

Tried with three different cars but doesn't work. I heard the same thing about dialing pulse dial telephone by holding the telephone and playing the key sound from other telphonephone sets, but don't know how true is that. I don't trust the mobile trick that's mentioned above.
