I just received an email which talks about some pretty slick tricks
u can do with your mobile phone.
never heard of any of these before.
if anybody can tell me if they are true or not, bc the car one sounds sci-fi to me.

THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW YOUR CELL PHONE COULD
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: -

*EMERGENCY*
*I*
*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.**

*II*
*Subject: 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).

Editor’s Note: *It works fine! We tried it out and it unlocked our car
over a cell phone!”*

*III*
Subject: Hidden Battery power
Imagine your cell 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, 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.

AND

*IV*
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.

Researchers probing the workings of the brain have found that it takes longer for feelings of social compassion and admiration to register on our neural circuits - and they worry that the rapid-fire effect of texting and tweeting could have “potentially negative consequences” for our moral fiber.

The findings serve as fresh fuel for the debate over social networking’s effect on the human psyche: Just this month, we’ve seen how social-network surfers can improve their office productivity, help catch criminals or head off a potential suicide (with an assist from celebrity Demi Moore!). We’ve also heard about Twitter torments, Facebook failures and social-network stress.

The brain-scan study, conducted by scientists at the University of Southern California and due for publication online this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, takes a different perspective.

What do you think?
