We all know that when our mobile goes ring ring there is usually someone on the other end of the invisible bit of string that we can talk to.
Got the following in an email and was wondering if it really works.
THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW YOUR CELLPHONE 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:
1) Subject: Emergency number
The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112. If you find yourself out of 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.*
2) Subject: Have you locked your keys in the car?
Does you car have remote keys?
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 cellphone 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'sNote: *It works fine! We tried it out and it
unlocked our car
over a cell phone!"
3) Subject: Hidden
Battery power
Imagine your cell battery is very low, you are
expecting an important call and u don't have a charger. Nokia instrument comes with a reserve battery. 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 u charge your cell next time.
Has anyone ever tried any of the above and found them to work?
