IT IS AN ANNOYING CELL PHONE MYTH! That is all that is.


Magical battery life This tip, which promises additional battery life for your cell phone is so bad, it's laughable. "Imagine your cell battery is very low. To activate, press the keys *3370#. Your cell phone will restart with this reserve and the instrument will show a 50 percent increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when you charge your cell phone next time."

No, this does not work, and I don't think that I have to justify why not. I'd only say that if this was really true, why would cell phone manufacturers keep such functionality secret? And if it was true, don't you think they'd just include that additional battery capacity in the first place? - Source - CNET.

I recently found an article on the internet as quoted below and was just wondering if anyone could confirm if it is fact or fiction please.




Is your mobile phone battery flat ?


All mobiles have Hidden Battery Power

To activate, press the keys *3370# (remember the asterisk). Do this when the phone is almost dead.

Your mobile will restart in a special way with this new reserve and the instrument will show a 50%

increase in battery life.. This reserve will get re-charged when you charge your mobile next time.

This secret is in the fine print in most phone manuals. Most people however skip this information without realising.
