"Dial *#06# for IMEI"
Does anyone know any other neat tricks like this?
- objclxt 14y agoThey're GSM feature codes - implemented features vary from carrier to carrier, but there are lists of commands here: http://www.stereo.org.ua/2007/gsm-codes/ http://www.stereo.org.ua/2007/gsm-codes/ http://www.arcx.com/sites/GsmFeatures.htm http://www.arcx.com/sites/GsmFeatures.htm There are additionally model specific codes for hardware diagnostics (rather than interacting with the network) on a model-by-model basis.
- andyking 14y agoYes - on my network, Vodafone UK, these are the ones I can remember off the top of my head: *#1345# - gives you your credit balance if you're on a prepaid account *#100# - your phone number *#101# - the current network date and time *#[102-105]# - various network engineering information that I can't understand. You can also, as long as you're on original GSM and not 3G, use the 'cell broadcast' feature to make it show you the current area code you're in (or more accurately, that your current tower is in). This is a throwback to an ancient price plan which gave cheaper calls to your local area. It's very much deprecated, so some newer cells don't broadcast the area code info, and no 3G cells do so.
- kristofferR 14y agoSure. On iPhones, try 3001#12345# . On Android it often depends on the specific model you have. Here are some for the Samsung S3: #06# Show IMEI number #0# LCD Test Menu ##4636##* user statistics and Phone Info #0011# Displays status information for the GSM #1234# View SW Version PDA, CSC, MODEM #12580369# SW & HW Info #197328640# Service Mode #32489# (Ciphering Info) #232337# Bluetooth Address #232331# Bluetooth Test Mode #232338# WLAN MAC Address #232339# WLAN Test Mode #0842# Vibra Motor Test Mode #0782# Real Time Clock Test #0673# Audio Test Mode #0# General Test Mode #2263# RF Band Selection #872564# USB Logging Control #4238378# GCF Configuration #0283# Audio Loopback Control #1575# GPS Control Menu #3214789650# LBS Test Mode #44336# Sofware Version Info #7780# Factory Reset 27673855# Full Factory Reset #0289# Melody Test Mode #2663# TSP / TSK firmware update #03# NAND Flash S/N #0589# Light Sensor Test Mode #0588# Proximity Sensor Test #3282727336# Data Usage Status #7594# Remap Shutdown to End Call TSK #34971539# Camera Firmware #528# WLAN Engineering Mode #7412365# Camera Firmware Menu #07# Test History #3214789# GCF Mode Status #272886# Auto Answer Selection #8736364# OTA Update Menu #301279# HSDPA/HSUPA Control Menu #7353# Quick Test Menu 27674387264636# Sellout SMS / PCODE view #7465625# View Phone Lock Status 7465625638# Configure Network Lock MCC/MNC #7465625638# Insert Network Lock Keycode ##7780##* Factory data reset - Clears Google-account data, system and program settings and installed programs. system will not be deleted, and OEM programs, as well as My Documents (pictures, music, videos)
- m_eiman 14y ago##7780##* Factory reset This seems a bit dangerous. Does it require any kind of password?
- RKearney 14y agoI just tried it on an HTC Incredible 2 on Verizon. Nothing happened. No error message, just back to the dialer. EDIT: I see now it was stated these are SIII specific. Guess that explains why nothing happened for me.
- stusmall 14y agoOn AT&T dial *639# to get a text message with your upgrade status.
