4 THINGS YOU PROBABLY NEVER KNEW YOUR MOBILE PHONE COULD DO
Not sure if these will all work outside the UK
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 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.
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: * # 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.
ATM PIN Number Reversal
Good to Know If you should ever be forced by a robber to withdraw
money from an ATM machine, you can notify the police by reverse. For
example, if your pin number is 1234, then you would put in 4321.
The ATM system recognizes that your PIN number is backwards from the
ATM card you placed in the machine.
The machine will still give you the money you requested, but unknown to
the robber, the police will be immediately dispatched to the location.
This information was recently broadcast on CTV by Crime Stoppers
however it is seldom used because people just don't know about
it.Please pass this along to everyone. This is the kind of information
people don't mind receiving, so pass it on to your family and friends

I use the method on my cameras and laptops all the time. Saves me from having to recharge them.

I call bullshit. You're not only spewing bullshit, you're shoveling more bullshit to substantiate your bullshit.

I have a better tip. How about you just remember your name and give that to the service provider? They have something called computers that keeps track of your phone information. Welcome to the new world. It's not 1960 anymore.

I TRIED IT!!! IT WORKS!!!
Thankyou, the only one we couldn't get to work this afternoon was the battery power. Thanks to those who mentioned snopes, it doesn't really dismiss all the claims.
Anyway, was fun trying these. Enough said and at least several other folk proved it wasn't all "bullshit"

Were you born yesterday? These urban myths are usually sprinkled with a bit of truth to bolster the bullshit claims. It makes it easier for people like you to believe that if some of it is true, all it must be true.
The whole point is to get you to spread the false information.

In case you need some double a batteries. This is a very helpful guide.
If you ever crack open proprietary batteries from many camcorders and cameras, you'll see similar results. They may not always contain AA batteries, but they will contain stacks of batteries that are typically found at drug stores or electronic stores.
