Fun one for Sony Ericssons:

Press:

Right (on joystick), * , left, left, *, left, *

You'll be taken to the engineers ervice menu, some of the service tests are cool

The Best ones were on the really old nokia when you could stop the sim clock and stuff that was *#746025625#

Think you can still check warranty info on a nokia with *#92702689#

Let me know if they work

One thing my mobile can't do though is to work this site.

Any ideas why?

Just get a sea of red when I click on the Arsenal chat bit.

1: 112 only works in certain places... the whole of the EU and USA. Don't think it works outside those countries, although it is being pushed as a universal number

2: Locked keys in car? Doesn't work. That would only work if your car alarm used some sort of sound wave. Car fobs use an encrypted Radio Frequency which is an electronic pulse.

3: Emergency battery... Doesn't work. That code turns on high quality audio (EFR) on old Nokias (it's on on all phones by default now). That code would actually drain your battery quicker.... #3370# turns it off, but it won't help you if your battery is dead

4: Phone companies can block IMEI numbers accessing their network. This info is shared between UK phone operators, but you can usually use a stolen phone from overseas.

Why would I want to block the handset after going to all the trouble of nicking it in the first place?

I've always had a really top drawer phone until recently. You know the ones I mean. 48mega pixel camera, capable of storing more info than the US defence mainframe computer, 650million megabyte internet conection speed blah, blah, blah, bullshit.

I've now got a basic phone. It makes calls and texts. I charge it up on a Sunday night and it doesn't need charging again until the next Sunday night. It does no photos, no web access, nothing. It's light as a feather and I love it. Best phone I've ever had.
