I don't have a mobile phone so cant vouch for these 
but if they work they certainly seem handy

                    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: 

                    FIRST 
                    Emergency 

                    The 
                    Emergency Number worldwide for all Mobile Phones
                    is 112. If you find yourself out of  the coverage area of your 
                    mobile network and there is an emergency, dial 112 
                    and your mobile will search any existing network in your area to establish the emergency 
                    number for you, and interestingly this number 112 can be dialled even 
                    if the keypad is locked. This works on all phones worldwide and is free. It is the equivalent of 000.

                    SECOND 
                    Have you  locked your keys in the car? 

                    Does  your car have remote keyless entry? 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 mobile 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 thousands 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). 
                     

                    THIRD 
                    Hidden 
                    Battery  
                    Power 

                    To activate, press the keys *3370# (remember the asterisk).  Do this when the phone is almost dead. 
                    Your mobile will restart in a special way with this new reserve and the instrument will show a 50% 
                    increase in battery life. This reserve will get re charged when you charge your mobile next time. 
                    This secret is in the fine print in most phone manuals.  Most people however skip this information without realising. 

                    FOURTH 
                    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 # 
                    Ensure you put an asterisk BEFORE the #06# sequence. 

                    A  15 digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to 
                    your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe. If your 
                    phone ever 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 done this, there would be no point in people 
                    stealing mobile phones. 
                    This secret is also in the fine print of most mobile phone manuals.  It was created for the very purpose of trying to prevent phones from being stolen. 

                    Also -ATM   PIN Number Reversal - Good to Know  !! 

                    If you should ever be forced by a robber to withdraw money from an ATM 
                    machine, you  can notify the police by entering your PIN # in 
                    reverse. For example, if your  pin number is 1234, then you would put 
                    in 4321. The ATM system recognizes  that your PIN number is backwards 
                    from the ATM card you placed in the  machine. The machine will still 
                    give you the money you requested, but unknown  to the robber, the 
                    police will be immediately dispatched to the location. 
                    All ATM’s carry this emergency sequencer by law. 

                    This information was recently broadcast  by Crime Stoppers 
                    however it is seldom used because people just don't know about it.
