Interesting mobile facts...

[Abi]

From an email i got sent....

1. Emergency Number : 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 while
the keypad is locked. Try it out.

2. Keys Locked in the Car? This may come in handy someday. Good reason to own a Mobile Phone: If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone on your mobile phone. Hold your mobile phone about
a foot from your car door and have the other person at your home press the Unlock button, holding it near the phone on their end. Your car will
unlock. Saves time for someone to drive your keys to you. Distance is not a problem. 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
boot).

Editor's Note: *It works fine! We tried it out and it unlocked our car over
a mobile phone!" Some of us who don't have fancy cars are just going to have to do it the old fashioned way!!!

3. Your Mobile 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 the battery, the key-in *3370# your cell will restart with this reserve and your instrument will show a 50% increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when you charge your mobile next time.

Unless you've pushed the button on the inside, which means that it automatically locks when you close the door.

[Kim]

Or the batteries have run out in it.

[Chloe-Elise]

[Kim]

I heard the other week that in america you can get a drink from a vending machine using your mobile.

[xStephaniex]

seriously kim ?? lol *head to america for a drink then comes back agen* :p

[Kim]

Apparently it's coming to the UK next year or something.

[Tori]

apparently you can already do it somehow.... you call the number on the vending machine and it gets taken out of your credit

[Kim]

Oh, a teacher told us about it only I havent seen any numbers on vending machines yet.

[Katy]

weird. mobile phons are taking over the univserse. Just think of all the things we can do with them now that we couldnt before

[lollymay]

wow my physics teacher told us about a phone that unlocks the fridge. er why? couldnt you just open it like a normal person?

[Kim]

Because people interested in science would rather use modern technology.

[lollymay]

the only thing i couldnt see was youd have to go to the fridge to get something out so why not open it while youre there?

[Angeltigger]

Unless you've pushed the button on the inside, which means that it automatically locks when you close the door.if you push the button when your inside you can not get out

[di marco]

if you push the button when your inside you can not get out

i think she means, if you press the button while the doors open then you shut the door, it will lock

[Angeltigger]

i think she means, if you press the button while the doors open then you shut the door, it will lock well she said in the car. but that could happen

[di marco]

well she said in the car. but that could happen

yeh cos youd be in the car with the door open

[Angeltigger]

actually it can not as if the doors are open and you click the button than it mean that when you shut the doors you would have the keys in your hand- apart from if you throw them in the car

[di marco]

actually it can not as if the doors are open and you click the button than it mean that when you shut the doors you would have the keys in your hand- apart from if you throw them in the car

yeh thats what she meant, if you pushed the button but left the keys in the car when you got out

[dddMac1]

i knew about 112

[Cornishbabe]

Im going to try the phone lock thing tomoorow. see if it works. The reserve battery doesnt work om my nokia... would be cool if it did tho.
Thanks for posting

[di marco]

i think my phone may have a reserved battery, if you turn it off on say one bar left it will turn back on on two

[Angeltigger]

i think my phone may have a reserved battery, if you turn it off on say one bar left it will turn back on on two that as you phone is clever

[Kim]

I think all phones do that di marco, It's just that they've gained some energy as they haven't been used.

[.:SpIcYsPy:.]

wow my physics teacher told us about a phone that unlocks the fridge. er why? couldnt you just open it like a normal person?
Lol how?! :rotfl: :searchme: :hmm:

[annaz]
