a friend showed me some nokia mobile phone features i was totally unaware of, i thought i would share them. the world wide emergency number is 112 so if you find yourself out of coverage and there is an emergency dial 112 and it will search any existing network to establish the emergency no for you, apparently this can be dialled even if the phone is locked.
locked your keys in the car ?? own a cell phone: if you have spare keys at home, call home get the person at your home too press the unlock button on your spare keys close to the phone while you are holding your mobile about a foot away from your car door, you could be hundreds of miles away and as long as you can reach the other person who has access to your spare keys this could put a smile on your dial. hidden battery power imagine your phone battery is very low and you are expecting a very important call and you don`t have a charger, nokia comes with a reserve battery to activate press the keys 3370 your cell will restart witha 50% increase in battery power,........i am a bit wary about this one as i suspect it maybe using the battery power reserved for storing all your phone numbers and stuff , i could be wrong but i would`nt let go completley flat the 2nd time. i hope these are usefull (the unlock trick works i tried it) cheers mik |

112 is for emergency and is so the operator can trace the number if your out in the bush or something...

I believe the car keys one has been busted. The 112 number works on any phone too.

there are a heap of codes that you can enter into nokias that will show you useful info such as serial numbers, when it was made, wiping the data...ect for example *#0000# *#7760# *#7780# the serial number codes are good incase your phone gets stolen(it helped a friendof mine get his back) and of course theres the police alert trick in the 3310-3330 series which tells you where the police are in sms messages.

Interesting. I wonder if there are any other codes in any of the other makers phones that we dont know about that can do other things.
