Day 2 - Hidden Cell Phone Features
Well here we go with the everyday challenge, I came across this article that had some interesting facts on cell phones and their hidden features... check them out incase you ever find yourself in a jam!
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.
As for me, I'm just hanging out in West Palm Beach this weekend. About to get some sushi later. It's nice to get away from Orlando for a while... I've been pretty busy with projects but at least I'll have something to show you guys soon. Check back often, this challenge is ON!

does #3 work with iphones? their battery life sucks.
You'd have to tell me, I don't have an iPhone... I'm curious as to which hidden features work with which brand, because I know the 2nd one definitely works. Pretty wild.
