I'm starting this thread to summarize and document all special codes that can be entered on the phone keypad. All the codes listed here are taken directly from CommCenter.

There are many places on the web referencing these codes, however, to my knowledge nobody tried to find out and document their corresponding mnemonics, i.e. letters "LANG" instead of numbers "5264".

If the code contains letters, it means press the corresponding number once for each letter.

________________________________________________

*#06#                         - everyone knows that it displays IMEI, but it's here for completeness
*3001#12345#*[call]         - start Field Test app (network monitor)
*#30X#[call], where X=1..9 - generate fake incoming call; the phone will become kind of messed up, thinking that it's on a call until you restart. Can be used to stream music to Bluetooth headset.

Cool list, keep going man!

nice post man keep it up.... I gave u a thumb up because i set my voicemail with it

Added a code to enable cell broadcast messages - *5005*CB#[call]
Many carriers broadcast some kind of location information whenever the phone switches to another base station.
Whenever your phone receives broadcast message, it pops up on the screen and also appears in the SMS app.
It's probably best to disable this feature when you don't need it, because the backlight turns on when a new message arrives.

I'm not able to enter any alpha characters on the keypad. What am I missing?

Also, for the voicemail code, is it always three #'s or can it be the whole seven digit voicemail #?

Thanks

The letters are below the numbers (remember how you used to type a text message on your previous phones?) So *#5005*VM# means *#5005*86#.

Good find! Now we know what they are: they turn logging on.
