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 EMERGENCY
* 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 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 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).
3 Hidden Battery power
Imagine your cell battery is very low , you are expecting an important call and you 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 you charge your cell next time.
4 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 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.

1. This is true
2. This will ONLY work if your key fob is a 'chirrup' style one, that is it makes an audible noise. Most if not all modern remote locking devices use radio frequencies to remotely unlock a car. These frequencies CANNOT be transmitted via a mobile phone. Ultrasonic devices will not work either since the algorithms used in phones to compress speech filter out sound frequencies outside those used for human speech. If you have tried this and it worked I suggest you try it standing a LOT further away from your car - odds are you are still in range of your keys. By the way - how did you lock your keys in the car anyway if you need the fob to lock the doors ?
3. Nope. No hidden battery power. This particular 'code' enables the Enhanced Full Rate Codec in your mobile phone. What that does is to improve the audio qaulity of voice calls but actually drains more battery (about 5%). This is disabled on more recent Nokia phones.
*#4720# activates the Half Rate Codec which will give you much worse audio quality but saving you some battery power.
4. Half true. The number you get on screen is the International Manufacturers Equipment Identifier or IMEI. It uniquely identifies your phone (and cannot be changed, hacked or whatever). But you phone operator already knows this information and is far more likely to want your name, phone number, DOB and address before they allow you to disable an account. No operator that I'm aware of will let you call up and ask to have an IMEI disabled. So no point in writing it down really.
The great thing about the Internet is that you can actually check your facts before spamming the rest of the world with a bunch of junk.
I have tried unlocking at
I have tried unlocking at least 10 different cars with different phones I could not get this to work.
