It works, I can attest to it. We were out drinking inthe bar oneevening after a round of golfand the topic came up and I said something about how cool the Onstar I had with my Chevy truck was. Dude brought up the cell phone deal. I didn't buy it, so he locked his Durango and handed me his keys, called his wife and held the cell phone up about 3 feet away from the car with the speaker phone on and click, the SOB unlocked. Cost me a $10 bet...

people claim that you can call who ever has your other keyless fob on a cell phone and they press the button the cell phone will transmit the signal over the cell signal and will unlock the auto.
I have never seen it work.

That SOB, wait till I see him again, I'm gonna beat that $10 out of his ***. We were bored at work today and tried it with three different vehicles. None of them worked!!!
But I swear, I've read all over the friggin' internet about people doing it...

RE: Ever locked your keys in your truck???
Knock on wood, I've never locked my keys in my car. I have a really good habit of NEVER using the lock button in the car, always use the keyless to lock it. My wife has locked her keys in her's countless times. I can't get her into the same habit. My favorite; I put an extra key for her in one of those magnets under her back bumper, and I stopped getting the "Sweetie, I did it again" calls for quite a while, until one day I get it, "Sweetie, I locked the keys in the car". I told her to use the spare, and then she proceeded to tell me that she did use the spare, just the day before, and forgot to put it back!!! So now we've got two keys in the car!!!! lol. Luckily her new aviater has the keypad on the driver's door for her now, the calls have finally stopped for good!!!

Cell Phone Trick Update: Now one of the guys who was at work when we tried three different vehicles with no success called me tonight and said it worked with his wife's VW. His '06 Chevy truck was a no go at work and he tried it again at home and still wouldn't unlock. Do different manufacturers make different types of FOBs?

I've had it work before on my 2500 and our Xterra from around 50 miles away. You are correct on having to have both callers using cell phones, and it will not work over direct connect by nextel (tried last winter when I didn't bring by winter stuff with me plowing... [:'(])
