 luminaeris says: number 3 is very useful. FOB signals are sonic? Number one is a myth too. http://www.snopes.com/science/mobile.asp 4 is partially true. http://www.snopes.com/crime/prevent/celltheft.asp i actually tried #2 a while ago, just for kicks. of course it doesnt work. I think #1 is true. But the strange thing is that 112 is the only emergency number that will work always, independently of your credit (provided that you are in a zone covered by some signal). For example, here in Italy we have also 113 and 115 as emergency numbers, but only 112 works so on cellphones. And about the #4, it's simply your IMEI code, it should come with your cellphone when you buy it, usually it's printed outside the box, near the barcode. This 112 is not accurate information. It is listed on snopes as FALSE. 112 cell phone INFO is a myth.. #2, a big Ha! Car remotes transmit RF signals which, although they do not need line-of-sight to reach the target, they are limited by distance (that's why when the remote batteries go really low, you need to get really close to your car for the signal to get there). Then only way this kind of cellphone trick would work is if the remote were transmitting tones, like when you punch keys on phone. Impossible!  #1 is true. The phone let's you type it in even if the keypad is locked. #2 a myth #3 doesn't work on Nokia 6600 #4 works Sorry, but no. 3 doesn't work on the Nokia 3310 either! I checked the Nokia website and they DO list the method for obtaining no. 4, so that's certainly authentic. But then, as analcoholic pointed out, the number is available next to the barcode after all - we simply don't bother to note it down! i still have to try no.1, hopefully no emergency would arise. i think no.1 meant if one network is out of coverage but the area you are in is covered by another network, even if you are not subscribed to that network dialing 112 will connect. i dont know. no. 2 is very situational and so untested. why go through all the effort. it is unlikely i will be in that situation anyway. i tried no. 3, it worked with my 8210. not that it regained battery life was 50% though. it just "reset" my phone. no. 4 works. unfortunately there are ways to enable disabled cellphones too. not listed above is no. 5 from the source: try placing your cellphone inside a microwave; using another cellphone, contact ... #4 doesn't work on my verizon samsung. not that I have enough cellphones to try it, but #5 in the comment above...what does it do? Is it an explosive thing, or is the microwave not running, so it's a block or something? a microwave oven should block microwaves, which include cellphone transmissions. Urban legend registered or not, no. 1 works for me and I live in Thailand...you cant get any further from the US than this if you tried... I tried dialing 112 with the keypad locked in my Nokia, it doen't work... I have a sony ericson, maybe thats why it works for me and not you? 112 worked for me too and i hav a Sonyericsson #3 didn't work on my Nokia 6235i Do number 3 work, I tried on my 2100 and it started, and I tried on my 3315 and the same thing happen. #3 is false I have read the comments and seen the snopes urban legend page, I have to go and find out what kind of alarm system I have coz I tried it and it worked. (Number 2) #4 works but usually only with Rogers phones. We tested #2 in our office using a Motorola Razr phone and 2005 Ford Mustang GT a quarter mile away. It worked. |
