The email about mobile phone tips
Once I received an email about mobile phone tips: 1) emergency number 112, 2) unlock the remote keyless entry enabled car, 3) activated hidden battery power, and 4) check the mobile phone serial number. And I also forwarded to my friends.
And recently, I just search about whether these tips are true or not. From Hoax-Slayer, it says that they are partly true. I think it is better to read it yourself. Read more.
But to make it simple, I will summarise the important point from the website. Hope that my summary skill is not bad, please visit the page if you like.
- “this emergency number may not work in every part of the world or for every mobile network” (Christensen, 2008, http://www.hoax-slayer.com/mobile-phone-tips.shtml)
- Technically impossible, but it may work…
- “Entering the code has no effect at all on brands of phone other than Nokia” (Christensen, 2008, http://www.hoax-slayer.com/mobile-phone-tips.shtml)
- “This does work on many kinds of mobile phones.” … “But it should be noted that you do not actually need to have your IMEI at hand to have a lost or stolen phone deactivated.” (Christensen, 2008, http://www.hoax-slayer.com/mobile-phone-tips.shtml)
