here 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 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 c ar 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 on your extra set of keys, holding it near the
mobile phone on their end. Your car will unlock. This 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 recharged when you charge your cell next time.

FOURTH Subject: 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 giv e 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 b ack, but at least you know that whoever stole it can't use or sell
it
either. If everybody does this, there would be no point in people stealing
mobile phones. And Finally....

FIFTH Subject: 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 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.


******************************************************************

okay so after some detecting, we come to find out that SOME of the phones can do this.

BUT, snopes says you can't unlock a door, but I beg to argue that considering I was there when my sister did it for my mom's tracker. I would assume it depends on the frequency then, but still I thought since some phones can do some of this, it is something people should try biggrin.gif

How cool is that! I am going to go home and try the door unlock thing so I can know for sure if it works with my car. I have paid $50 to a locksmith before to get into my locked car.

Fantastic but it looks too confusing to me right now! unsure.gif

My phone can actually make a phone call if you use it correctly.
