IMPORTANT THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW YOUR CELL PHONE COULD DO. You may want to pass this on to your
teams.
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 dialed 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 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: 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: 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. If 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: FREE 411
Cell phone companies are charging us $1.00 to $1.75 or more for 411information 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) 373-3411 without incurring any charge at all. Program this into your cellphone now. This
is the kind of information people don't mind receiving, so pass it on to your family and
friends.

Ok, no you cannot unlock your power locked car over your cellphone... that's ridiculous. http://www.trendmicro.com/vinfo/hoaxes/hoaxDetails.asp?HName="Unlock+Your+Car+by+Phone"+Email+Hoax&Page=1

Just tried the battery thing.... doesn't work...
FREE-411 is real.
The blocking thing from the serial number is bogus, I phone got stolen and I had my serial number in my hand and cingular said they could do nothing but cancel the sim card meaning they could still switch it out and use the phone.
Not sure about the 911-/112 thing you better believe if some thing has happened and I only get one phone call I'm calling 911.

Some of this is bogus.
I like to use www.snopes.com to verify the authenticity of this type of info.
