We found a list iof secret codes off a indian blog that will help with some troubleshooting. I have tested all the codes on my iPhone. Bare in mind that I am using a iPhone2G so I am not sure if it all works on the iPhon3G. Dialing *3001#123456#* did not work. It tried to make a call instead and I got the BEEP BEEP BEEP sound. Also what did not work was the last three numbers in the list. Give it a try and let us know if you have the same problems I did. Do you know of any other secret codes that you would like to share with us. We will continue to hunt for more, if there are, and keep you updated.

 

  • Dialing *3001#123456#* and pressing “Call” starts a field test on your iPhone with results that can be used, for example, to gauge signal strength.
  • *#06# Displays your IMEI.
  • *#21# and tap Call. Setting interrogation for call forwards - Discover the settings for your call forwarding. You’ll see whether you have voice, data, fax, sms, sync, async, packet access, and pad access call forwarding enabled or disabled.
  • *#30# and tap Call. Calling line presentation check - This displays whether you have enabled or disabled the presentation of the calling line, presumably the number of the party placing the call.
  • *#76# and tap Call. Check whether the connected line presentation is enabled or not - State whether the connected line presentation is enabled or disabled. Presumably similar to the calling line presentation.
  • *#43# and tap Call. Determine if call waiting is enabled - Displays call waiting status for voice, data, fax, sms, sync data, async data, packet access and pad access. Each item is either enabled or disabled.
  • *#61# and tap Call. Check the number for unanswered calls - Show the number for voice call forwarding when a call is unanswered. Also show the options for data, fax, sms, sync, async, packet access and pad access.
  • *#62# and tap Call. Check the number for call forwarding if no service is available -Just like the previous, except for no-service rather than no-answer situations.
  • *#67# and tap Call. Check the number for call forwarding when the iPhone is busy - And again, but for when the iPhone is busy.
  • *#33# and tap Call. Check for call control bars - Check all the usual suspects (voice, data, fax, sms, etc) to see whether barring is enabled or disabled for outgoing.
  • *777# and tap Call. Account balance for prepaid iPhone.
  • *225# and tap Call. Bill Balance. (Postpaid only)
  • *646# and tap Call. Check minutes. (Postpaid only)
