For those "accolading" the op, you need to ask if he'd done any of those apart from *#06# for IMEI.

Be careful what hardware code you dial on your keypad, you might just be giving away useful info to phone manufacturers, ISPs, or even damage your phone, beyond repair.

You're warned!
Lol. How does dialing a USSD code give away 'useful' info to phone manufacturers as you call it? I knew about some of them before now.

Those code are safe, it has all be tested by me and they all working as said, so Don't mislead anyone..

Who says they're not working? Why would they integrate a non-working code in a device that has passed ISO, QC test?

If you knew about tech, as you claimed, you would know why those codes where there in the first place.

You are sounding like someone who is scared of dialing *556# out of fear if his phone's information being leaked.. Can you now see how unconnected it is?

Mr. Guru, you need to understand the difference between USSD for software and that for hardware.

You can start with command prompt and BIOS config

So *#06# -the one you could vouch for- is for?

That's hardware code.

But it's alright bro. Do whatever you want.

These codes are also. Even tho *#06# is a mandated general code and these ain't, they ain't harmful. Think about the *#0000# or so which is used on Nokia phones in checking ' about phone'. It isn't a general code. *#*#4636#*#* will work on almost any android phone and *#002# which is used in cancelling call diversion can be used on almost any phone so no harm in trying it. I've been using them before now, you could as well try it out.

This is some great information you're sharing, but, however, I don't think that there should be so much panic regarding this topic. How many of you actually worried that their phone is tracked?
