Not being addicted to cell phones and never having locked my keys in
the car, I can't personally vouch for this.  However, the guy that
sent me this note said, "ME BEING A DOUBTING THOMAS I HAD TO TRY, BUT
IT WORKS..... I DID IT ON MY TRUCK"

 From the note, 2 others also claim to have successfully used this trick.

Subject: Locked your keys in your car and within cell range ????


If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home, call
someone on your (or someone else's) cell phone.

Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the
other person at your home press the unlock button of your key fob
(clicker), holding it near the phone on their end. Your car doors
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!)

Mike's Note *

I locked the car and had my youngest daughter call me while I was far
away from the car. I clicked open into the phone and I could hear the
car doors unlock through her cell phone. My daughter confirmed that
sure enough the doors opened.
