>> For all the folks with cell phones. (This should be printed and kept
>> in your car, purse, and 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 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 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
>>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 will show 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
>>number is unique
>>
>>to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe.
>>
>>If 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
>>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 our vehicle, which makes this situation
>> even more of 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.
>>
>>This is the kind of information people don't mind receiving, so pass it
>>on to your family and friends.

have a nice day, Mastiff ;D

The whole having your phone in the car and some one calling the phone and pressing the unlock feature will not work at all. Its a big myth. The car key uses a radio frequency that cannot be trasmitted over a cell phone. I copied a short snippet below : )

"Since the system works on radio waves, not sound, the only conceivable way a signal from your spare remote could be picked up by one cell phone and relayed to your car's onboard receiver by another would be if both phones were capable of sending and receiving at exactly the same frequency as the remote itself - which they can't be, given that all remote entry devices operate at frequencies between 300 and 500 MHz, while all mobile phones, by law, operate at 800 MHz and higher."
