Not sure if it really works, but I'm sure some one here will try it. Let us know if it works................Locked yourself out of the car?
Here's a handy trick. Your car must have remote keyless entry, but most cars today do.
This could come in real handy someday. Good reason to own a cell phone: If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home or you husband or wife has another one.
Call them on their phone from your cell phone. Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the other person 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).
Free directory service for cell phones
Most of us do not carry a telephone directory in our vehicle, which makes this situation even more of a problem. we especially do not carry directories for out of the area. When you need to use the 411 information option, simply dial: (800) FREE 411, or (800) 373-3411 without incurring any charge at all. Program this into your cell phone now.
You will have to listen to a couple of commercials while you wait for your number, but there is no charge for the information.
World wide emergency number
The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112. If you find yourself out of the 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.
