Things You Never Knew Your Cell Phone Could Do
ok .. i have used #4 & #5, works fine.
the rest are untested, but its late and I'm cleaning up emails and I still got about 1,390 emails to go.
i kind of like #3, the reserve power idea .. i will check it next time my battery dies .. which should be soon .. if it works, great.
===================================
Things You Never Knew Your Cell Phone Could Do For all the folks with cell phones. (This should be printed and kept in your car, purse, wallet. Good information to have with you.) 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 112canbe 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 noobject. You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who hastheother "remote" for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk).
THIRD
Hidden Battery Power
Imagine your cell battery is very low. To activate, press the keys *3370#. Your cell phone will restart with this reserve and the instrument willshow a 50% increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when you charge your cell phone 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: *#06#. A 15-digit code will appear on the screen. This numberis 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, therewould be nopoint in people stealing mobile phones.
And Finally....
FIFTH
Free Directory Service for Cells
Cell phone companies are charging us $1.00 to $1.75 or more for 411 information calls when they don't have to. Most of us do not carry a telephone directory in ourvehicle, which makes this situation even moreof a problem. When you need to use the 411 information option, simply dial: (800)FREE411, or (800) 373-3411 without incurring any charge at all. Program this into your cell phone now.

unlock cell phone RE: Things You Never Knew Your Cell Phone Could Do
We only had Nokia phones, now we got Nokia, Motorola and Samgsung.
Havent tried #4, disable, with the Samgsung & Motorola but I do know
that the *#06# works on all three - at least with AT&T.
Also, I have " UNLOCKED " all my cell phones so I can drop any
SIM card from any provider and the phone is a go.
Costs $1 per phone to unlock.
