There are a few things that can be done in times of graveemergencies. 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 number
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 k eys 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 yo ur 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. When 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
Cell phone companies are charging us $1.00 to $1.75 or more for 411
information c alls 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.
This is the kind of information people don't mind receiving, so pass
it
on to your family and friends.

Summary of the eRumor:
The eRumor is a collection of alleged little-known facts about cell phones (summarized above).



[font=arial]The Truth:
Let's go through them one at a time.

The Emergency Number worldwide for **Mobile** is 112--Fiction![color=#000080][size=2]

[/b]There is no single emergency number in use world wide. The number 112 is used in some countries but not all. Many countries also use 119, 999, and 911. Additionally, not all phones would in all countries to be able to even try dialing a single emergency code.

You Can Unlock Your Car Remotely Through a Cell Phone-Fiction!
This was an eRumor that previously circulated on its own. The claim is that if you lock yourself out of your car but have a extra remote switch at your home you can phone someone at home, have the person hold the switch up to the phone, then you hold your cell phone near your car door and when the button on the other remote is pressed—your car door will open. This one is also false. It assumes that car remotes use sound waves to open your door but most of them use radio signals, not sound. A radio signal will not travel over the audio of a cell phone.

There may be hidden battery power in your cell phone-Fiction!
If there is a phone that offers this feature, we have not found it. The eRumor claims that if you punch in a certain code on your cell phone you will access reserve power. It mentions Nokia in particular but the folks at Nokia told TruthOrFiction.com that they do not have any phone with that capability.
