2. Have you locked your keys in the car? Does your car have remote keys?

This may come handy someday. Good reason to own a 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.

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).

Your cell will restart with this reserve and the instrutment will show a 50% increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when you charge your cell next time.

When your phone get stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this code.
