Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD)—sometimes known as “quick codes” or “feature codes allow you to access hidden features or to directly communicate with your service provider’s computers and/or access back-end features in their device.


They are accessed by inputing them into the phone’s dialer or keypad as the case may be. USSD codes usually begin and end with the * or # keys with a sequence of numbers in between. For example, checking your airtime balance on MTN Nigeria can be invoked by pressing *556#

General Test Mode: *#0*#
Typing *3001#12345#* into your phone’s dialer and pressing the call button reveals a library of different phone operations, which could be operated with a single push (e.g. :LED, Vibration, Touch, Receiver, Sleep, Front Cam etc).




Identify Your Imei: *#06#
IMEI is short form for International Mobile Equipment Identity.

The IMEI number is used by a GSM network to identify valid devices and therefore can be used for stopping a stolen phone from accessing that network. For example, if a mobile phone is stolen, the owner can call their network provider and instruct them to blacklist the phone using its IMEI number.

To access it, type*#06# in your phone’s dialer, and then the green call button to prompt your IMEI number




Check Active Call Forwarding: *#67#
This code is useful for checking if your calls are currently being forwarded to another number/voicemail, which number it is being forwarded to and deactivation options.

Sometimes Call forwarding may have been activated mistakenly by you or by your network provider. On an iPhone, you can change this number by going to Settings > Phone > Call Forwarding. On Android (varies from system to system), tap the Phone app > 3 dot hamburger icon > Settings > Call Settings> More Settings > Call forwarding



Additional Call Forwarding Options: *#61#
If you thought the forwarding options above were cool, this is even better. Dialing *#61# shows even more complete info on forwarding options. It lists your Voice, Data, Fax, SMS among other options and shows if forwarding is active for any of them.


Hide Your Phone Number/Caller Id In Outgoing Calls: #31#
By entering #31# a prompt came up in a pop-up stating that my Caller ID had been disabled. In order to re-instate Caller ID, enter *31# and your number will be displayed in outgoing calls.

Alternatively, if you do not want your caller ID to be displayed for a specific number in an outgoing call, you can simply add #31# before the number and dial. Caller ID will be hidden for only that number




Check Phone Firmware Version: *#1234#
Need an easy straightforward way to know the firmaware version your phone is currently running? Dial *#1234#

Additionally it also displays your Common Short code version (CSC) and the model of your phone among other things.




Quick Test Menu: *#7353#
Similar to the General Test mode mentioned earlier, dialing *#7353# brings up a menu with a number of one-tap test prompts.

Pressing ‘Speaker’ in the listed Menu plays a song which you can use to test the quality of your speakers while Camera quickly opens your Camera App in Auto HDR for a quick test.




Activate Call Waiting: *43#
This code when dialed will activate call waiting; you can deactivate it by entering #43#. The call waiting feature is essentially useful if you want other calls to still show up on your screen even if you are on another call.




SMS Message Center: *5005*7672#
This code will tell you your SMS message center number. The SMS center number is essential to know in cases where you are experiencing messages not being delivered.A call to your customer service will almost always ends up with you being asked if your SMS Message Center number is correct.



Please NOTE that the USSD codes were tested on a Samsung S7 Edge running Android Nougat.

The same should be applicable to other phone users too.

Samsung’s Chief of Mobile, DJ Koh has confirmed during a Press conference at the ongoing Consumer Electronics show that its much awaited flagship phone, the Galaxy S9 and S9+ will be announced at the Mobile World Congress.

The Mobile World Congress (MWC) is the world’s largest exhibition for the mobile industry and it features prominent executives representing mobile operators, device manufacturers etc. representing different brands all over the world.

There were initial reports which suggested that the new Galaxy series could be showcased at the 2018 edition of the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) but it is now confirmed that the flagship series will be announced at the MWC 2018 which will take place in February in Barcelona.

Samsung Galaxy S9 Box
As expected, several leaks and even actual pictures of the Galaxy S9’s retails box have surfaces showing design, specifications and variations based on memory capacity.

The Samsung Galaxy S9 will spot 4GB RAM and will be available in two variants based on the internal storage — 64GB and 128GB. On the other hand, the Galaxy S9 Plus will come with 6GB RAM and will have four storage variants — 64GB, 128GB, 256GB and 512GB. The 512GB variant will however be available only in select regions and in small quantities

Under the hood, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 845 processor will power the series in the United States and China while the International version is expected to be powered by the equally powerful Exynos 9810 chip which comes enhanced with better CPU performance and advanced artificial intelligence; both areas Samsung has been working on double time

Both the Galaxy S9 and S9+ are expected to follow in the S8 and S8+’s footsteps in display sizes; 5.5 inches and 6.2 inches respectively. While the S9 will come with a single real or primary camera, the S9+ will come with a dual rear camera setup for added Bokeh effect and better stabilization.

chupcake:


Forgive me if i am wrong but is the Adatan/Isale Ake road to Camp/Osiele road not a federal road? I am not sure but i have always heard it is a federal road.

Yes, it is
I just wish we would stop the Federal/ State road nonsense, its very stupid. That is the reason why Federalism is the way forward

As i heard, other Govs have collected money for that road many times without fixing it. If the state govs really care, they will find a way to do it
