Not sure if this is true or even if they work. But interesting all the same.
If anyone tries them and they work let us know
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 all Mobile Phones
Is 112. If you find yourself out of the coverage area of your
Mobile network and there is an emergency, dial 112
And your mobile will search any existing network in your area to establish the emergency
Number for you, and interestingly this number 112 can be dialled even
If the keypad is locked. This works on all phones worldwide and is free. It is the equivalent of 000.
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 mobile 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 thousands 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: I didn't believe this when I heard about it! I rang my daughter in Sydney from Perth when we went on holiday. She had the spare car key. We tried it out and it unlocked our car over a mobile phone!'

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 #
Ensure you put an asterisk BEFORE the #06# sequence.
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 ever 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 done this, there would be no point in people
Stealing mobile phones.
This secret is also in the fine print of most mobile phone manuals. It was created for the very purpose of trying to prevent phones from being stolen.
Also -ATM PIN Number Reversal - Good to Know !!
If you should ever be forced by a robber to withdraw money from an ATM
Machine, you can notify the police by entering your PIN # in
Reverse. For example, if your pin number is 1234, then you would put
In 4321. The ATM system recognizes that your PIN number is backwards
From the ATM card you placed in the machine. The machine will still
Give you the money you requested, but unknown to the robber, the
Police will be immediately dispatched to the location.
All ATM’s carry this emergency sequencer by law.
This information was recently broadcast on by Crime Stoppers
However it is seldom used because people just don't know about it.
