Interesting Facts About Mobiles Phones

[CAMSHAFT]

Check this out. It is very interesting!

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).

*It works fine! We tried it out and it unlocked our

car over a mobile phone!"

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.

Me too. The car key thing sounds well freaky... I *have* to try that!

No 3 is actually EFR not a 'reserve battery'

EFR CALL QUALITY

To activate EFR (Enhanced Full Rate) Enter the code-

*3370#

This improves call quality but decreases batterylife by about 5%

To deactivate it, Enter the code-

#3370#

And I dont really believe No.2 as phones are for voice comms... they dont tend to bother with frequencies outside that (aka the frequencies car alarms run on)... tho I could be proven wrong here...

and No.1 is deffo right.... irritating that for emergency purposes you can call 112 (and 911) without taking key lock off... means you could dial it accidentally.

Cant really see 2 working

If it did does that mean you can record someone opening their car with a mobile voice or vid recording and then open it later when they are not there?

Scary

Will have to try No 2 tomorrow just to see

No 2 has got to be rubbish. POTS (BT etc) has a cut off frequency of 3400Hz. Alarm remotes work on either infra-red (clearly light is not gonna pass down a phone), or RF. There is no way GSM can carry RF. It has a sample frequency of 8kHz, so by nyquist the highest frequency that can be faithfully reproduced is 4kHz.

And No 3 turns on EFR as stated earlier.

No but I doubt Robbie would lie about it....

I have not got a Nokia, so i cant try Number 3, as for Number 2 Ive tried it on most of the Toyota, Lexus and Saab range of cars (quite day and the batts were low on the remote control 93`s so we put number 2 to the test) with remote central locking and it does not work on them. anyway i read on a website on this internet so IT HAS TO BE TRUE
