I just would like to extend a Happy New Year to all of my Aero brothers and sisters out there. I recently recieved this helpful info. in an e-mail at work. If it's good enough for us Air Force folks its certainly good enough for my extended family as well. Again, stay safe, stay smart, and above all else "KEEP OUR AEROSTAR'S AT THE FRONT OF THE PACK!"

Wow....that's so pretty handy info right there.

 

Imagine your cell battery is very low. To activ ate, press the keys

It does not work with Nokia phones, with Motorolla and Ericsson only.

 

Don't think the keyless entry thing works either. My 05 mountaineer won't unlock.
LG phones no battery thingy.

Be careful what you get via email. Most of this is false. Check here for more information. I usually will check this site before forwarding information I'm suspicious of. If the email tell you to forward to all your friends I always check.

 

Most auto alarm remotes use an RF transmitter; I don't know of any cell phones that will repeat or tunnel those signals.

I don't think most cell phones have a reserve battery. At best, there is a keep-alive battery for the clock, but even those go out if you really run down the main battery. The *3370# function on my Nokia sets the default voice codec.

About the only thing from this list that works on my Nokia is the serial number printout.

 

I use to have battery fully charged. Usually on my old Nokia battery lets phone work for a week. So have a cell. battery charger in a car.

 

Mostly false. See the urban legend page at Snopes.
