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).

Hidden Battery power
Imagine your cell battery is very low, you are expecting an important call and you don't have a charger. Nokia phones come 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.

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.
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.

Car door unlocking - nope - they are not audio but radio frequency operated - won't work.
*3370# activates high quality voice coding and consumes 5% extra battery power! However *#4720# activates the half rate codec - the audio quality is diminished but you'll get 30% more talk time. Once recharged you can get back to normal quality with the same command again.
Disabling stolen phone - correct - this works. Reply...

I really wish people would stop posting this all over the net. Most of it is myth, some of it is partially true, in certain instances, i.e. 112 only works in Europe and the #06# only works on SOME gsm phones, *if* your provider has enabled the feature. The hidden battery power is totally fabricated, complete bullcrap, as is the car unlock hack. Phones transmit digitized sound, car fobs use radio signals. Impossible.
