Do You Know The Power of Your Cell Phone?? got this in an email today

I got this in an email this morning and thought I would share it here, maybe someone will test out #2 and report here if it works or not, lol

 

That's cool, never knew cellphones pack so much features.

 

Thats pretty insane, thanks for the info.

 

lol I remember getting this list in the email during early 2000s.

My favorite, as I'm sure it's yours too, is being able to unlock a car through the phone.

Being a Doubting Thomas myself, I am going to test this out right now

 

That Battery thing only works on Nokia I think !

That too only on few phones and not on all.

- Digital -

 

Yeah I saw this a while back and never got around to trying that..

I don't have a second remote to try it with now but please let me know if it works, the curiosity is killing me!

 

You can try it with the one remote you have, you only need two cell phones lol.

 

thats pretty insane.

 

Lol good point -- but that would still involve having to give it to someone else so that they can try it while I stand in front of my car..

And honestly I want to try it at a long distance not from inside my house to my driveway. lol

 

Some quick Googleing:

And I believe they did the car lock one on MythBusters.

 

Thanks for helping to clear this and saving us the time and trouble of testing these ourselves.

 

not a bad thing to discover. wonder who tried it the first time and got to these results. must have been a freaky guy.

 

Thanks for sharing. Really useful information.

 

Really nice tips. I was trying the code battery recharge, but it doesn't work on my Chinese handset.

 

FIRST - perfectly true!

SECOND - HOAX, as someone stated before, Mythbusters already tested this and FAILED.

THIRD - Misleading info. Such a code exists and it works for Nokia phones, but it activates EFR (Enhanced Full Rate Codec). It will give you a better sound quality but LESS TALK TIME.

FOURTH - TRUE, but not all the service providers will accept a request to block your handset.

FIFTH - MAYBE. The service providers can choose NOT to allow numbers like (800)... to be dialed.

 

Oh i was not knowing this,its a new thing for me .

 

What service provider doesn't allow you to dial a Toll-Free number?

I was under the impression that they could be dialed from any number, considering I've never had a problem with it...

 

Well, AFAIK, this happens in certain countries in Europe ... It's all about agreements between service provides, actually lack of agreement .

 

Lol makes sense, I guess..sucks to be in those countries, then, lol..
