TOP 8 DEADLY SECRETS OF YOUR MOBILE PHONE

Today I have decided to revisit our intelligence corner. This is due to queries form numerous readers who read our March Issue. They asked us to return this corner. And we cannot fail them. We have decided to reveal what you must know about the handset you have.

This writer discovered that all mobile phones have special codes associated with them. They are used to identify the phone, its operating capabilities, change the handset behaviour and in some cases provide value added services regardless of the network. The following is some of the secret codes.

How to disable a stolen mobile phone
First of all let us reveal your mobile phone serial number. Here you just key in *#06#. A 15 digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe. If your phone ever gets stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this code.

The code will make them able to block your handset, so that even if the thief change the sim card, your phone will be totally useless.

You probably wont get your phone back but at least you know that whoever stole it cant use or sell it either. If everybody did this, there would be no point in people stealing mobile phones.


GENERAL GSM Secret Code
The international emergency number for GSM Mobile phone is 112. If you ever find out of the coverage area of your mobile network and there is an emergence, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to establish the emergency number for you. Because GSM is an international standard, access is provided regardless of the presence or validity of the sim card within the phone.

To enable a conference call, on any phone on any network, type in **43#. You can make up to seven calls at once using this code. Typing *0 or *NM# at the beginning of a text message will give you a detailed delivery report on some networks.

General Nokia Secret codes;
To check the phones software version type in *#000#. Use *#30# code combination to see a private or blocked number in case someone is calling you and using the blocked number feature. #92702689# displays the phones serial number, month and year of manufacturer, date where the phone was purchased (mmyy) the date of the last repair, if any the life timer of the phone
