            1) Emergency number 
The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112.If you find yourself  out of coverage area of your mobile network andthere  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) Locked the  keys in the car? 
Your car has 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
home, call someoneon  your cell phone. Hold  your cell 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 someone from  having to drive  your keys to you. Distance is  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 itunlocked our car over a cell      phone!" 
3) 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  gets charged when  u charge your cell next time.
4)Very Useful information 
To check your Mobile phone's serial number, key in the following digits on  your phone:
a)* # 0 6 # 
b)A 15 digit code will appear on the screen. 
c)This numberis unique to yourhandset. 
d)Write it down and keep it somewhere safe.
e)Should your phone 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 did this, there would be no point in stealing mobile
phones.

Does the Hidden Battery power only work with Nokia phones?

                            Yes I knew that and it has come in very handy on a couple times when friends have had thier mobiles stolen and left in taxis.
The only thing that I must stress is that when you purchase a new one register it straight away as the company will only block it if it is registered in your name. Otherwise we could block anyones phone if we got hold of it!!!
