Unlock Hidden Features On Your Phone With 13 Secret Codes by eugene12345: 5:13pm On Mar 04, 2017
1. Field Mode: *3001#12345#*

Type *3001#12345#* into your phone's dialer and then press the green call button to access "Field Mode," which can give you access to info about local networks and cell towers.

You'll probably never ever have to know about your local cell tower's "Measured RSSi," but it's fun to look around for a bit.

Field Mode: *3001#12345#*


2. General Test Mode: *#0*#

I could only get this to work on Android. But this prompts a library of different phone operations, which could be operated with a single push (e.g. Sleep, Front Cam, Vibration).

3. Display your IMEI: *#06#

Here's a code which I found out does not work with Verizon on an iPhone, but I could make it work after switching to a T-Mobile SIM. It also worked on my Android AT&T device as well. To access it, type in the above code, and then the green call button to prompt your IMEI number (or your International Mobile Station Equipment Identity number, but you already knew that).

The IMEI is unique to your device. Among other things, the number can help "blacklist" stolen devices or help with customer support.

Display your IMEI: *#06#
4. Check Your Call Forwarding: *#67#

This code allows you to check which number your phone is currently forwarding calls to when you're busy or reject a call.

By default, this is probably your carrier's voicemail service, but you can change it to forward to a different number (a home number, office number, or third-party answering service for example). 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 > hamburger icon > Settings > Call > More Settings > Call forwarding


Get Even More Info on Call Forwarding: *#61#
5. Check Your Available Minutes: *646#

Apparently this one only works on postpaid plans. I was not able to get it to work on my test iPhone (regardless of carrier; I tried three), but I did get it to work on my Galaxy phone (which happens to have an unlimited texting plan from AT&T). Instead of showing the info on a new screen, it sent my phone a text message.

6. Check Your Bill Balance: *225#

Once again, I couldn't get this one to work on the iPhone, but on Android I did get it to prompt a SMS message with my current balance due.
Check Your Bill Balance: *225#
7. Hide Your Phone From Caller ID: #31#

I could only get this to work on Android. But entering this code prompted a pop-up stating that my Caller ID had been disabled. In order to re-instate Caller ID, enter *31# .

8. Check Your Billing Cycle: *3282#

Once again, I could only get this to work on Android. It prompted an SMS message with my billing info.
Check Your Billing Cycle: *3282#
9. SMS Message Center: *5005*7672#

This code will tell you your SMS message center number. I have no idea why you'd need that info, but there ya go.
SMS Message Center: *5005*7672#
10. Activate Call Waiting: *43#

This code will activate call waiting; you can deactivate it by entering #43#.
Activate Call Waiting: *43#
11. Quick Test Menu (Samsung Galaxy Only) *#7353#

As far as I can tell, this code only works on Samsung Galaxy models (I tested it on my Galaxy S7 Edge). This is similar to the General Test mode mentioned earlier, in that it brings up a menu with a number of one-tap test prompts.

The first test is "Melody," which prompts a jaunty little K-Pop diddy. I don't know who the artist is (it's un-Shazammable!), but a search of the lyrics pointed me to this YouTube clip, with a title that translates to "Samsung Anycall Galaxy basic level - Hey Now (Good bye)." If you have any details on this mobile mystery, drop it in the comments.

Quick Test Menu (Samsung Galaxy Only) *#7353#
12. Firmware (Samsung Galaxy Only) *#1234#

Once again, as far as I can tell, this only works on Galaxy devices. But it will let you know your phone's current firmware. So, have fun with that.
