Thought some of this info might be useful to you now that you are out in the field. I have only tried the free info one myself. Been lucky that I haven't locked my keys in the truck
FIRST
Emergency
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, and interestingly, this number 112
can be dialed even if the keypad is
locked. Try it out.
SECOND
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 cell 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).
Editor's Note: It works fine! We tried it out
and it unlocked
Our car over a cell phone!'
THIRD

FOURTH
How to disable
a STOLEN mobile phone?
To check your Mobile phone's serial number,
key in the following Digits on your phone: *#06#. A 15-digit code will appear on
the screen This number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep
it
somewhere safe.
When your phone get stolen, you can phone your
service provider and give them this code. They will then be able to block your
handset so even if the thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally
useless. You probably won't get your phone back, but at least you know that
whoever stole it can't use/sell it either. If everybody does this, there would
be no point in people stealing mobile phones.

more of a problem. When you need to use the 411 information option, simply
