OT: A Few Things You Didnt About Your Mobile , by alsbabar on Dec 12, 2008 12:01:14 GMT 1, This Is Not A Joke!
4 THINGS YOU PROBABLY NEVER KNEW
YOUR MOBILE PHONE COULD DO
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 dialled
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 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 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).
It works fine! I tried it out and
it unlocked my car over a mobile phone!'
THIRD
Hidden Battery Power
Imagine your mobile battery is very low.
To activate, press the keys *3370#
Your mobile will restart with this reserve and the
instrument will show a 50% increase in battery.
This reserve will get charged when
you charge your mobile next time.
FOURTH
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.
This Is Not A Joke!

if you are alone in the desert, and need some food and drink, stick your phone in the sand and dial your home phone number backwards, mcdonalds will be contacted and will construct a drive through in 1 minute, then give you a lift home - this really works, i did it last month
great information there

BS - what if it is the same number in reverse e.g. 1001

5 things you never knew you could do with a mobile...
#5. If you are hungry put two slices of bread in a toaster and press the lever down - in 2 minutes you will have hot crunchy bread which will magically make your hunger disappear when you eat it.

pop your mobile inside a large shell and the police will think you are listening
to the sea.
