This is very interesting!
Really True Facts about Mobile Phone try it yourself.
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: -
1) Subject: 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
dialled even if the keypad is locked. *Try it out.*
2) Subject: Have you locked your keys in the car?
Does your 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!"
3) Subject: Hidden Battery power
Imagine your cell battery is very low, u r expecting an important call
and u 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.

Acutally, this cuts the data sent from the phone to half (Full Rate to Half Rate) - if the network supports it. But IMHO Half Rate sounds crappy

Cutting data rate to the half? So only every second
word is being send?

The digitized voice data is getting compressed so it uses only half the normal bandwidth. But the result (on the receiver side) sounds bad IMHO. This *might* benefit battery life, but I doubt it.
