Jusoda Kid 1 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Not sure how true this is but thought I'd share it anyway. 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 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 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.

RlCO 0 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Anyone game enough to try the battery one? Sounds like bollocks to me. And the keyfob one come to think of it, unless the microphone and speaker can pick up radio frequencies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walliver 0 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I tried the first one and it came up saying I was calling SOS so I quickly hung up. The fourth (special phone code) one works. I can't get the third (battery power, but my battery isn't that low) to do anything and I don't have a car handy to try that one with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There'll be squad cars, police and ambulance helicopters on the way to you as soon as they triangulate your position! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the keyfob one come to think of it, unless the microphone and speaker can pick up radio frequencies. Tried it and just got "Unsuccessful", so it's not a Sony Ericsson function. Might try my company Nokia later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
