Someone send me one of the many forwards of what our cellphones can do eg dialling 112 for emergency via any network regardless of which one you belong etc . Got me wondering, is it possible to do as below and if yes how does it work?
*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 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). *
I tried it. Didn't work.
