Phone codes?

pajo — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 12:36:05 GMT

Most phone services support various codes (USSD, MMI, etc.) to access special features. For example PM supports these prefixes to set up Call Forwarding:

and these for Caller ID Blocking:

Does PM publish a list / table of all such codes anywhere?

Thanks!

@pajo , I think you have found where things are published. If you see it in the help pages, it's there, otherwise it's not. Note that these days we don't use codes to do things like call forwarding for example. The dialer apps have these functions in the menus. It's a lot easier to pick a menu setting than to remember codes.

Check out this PMGUIDE from 2018. Not sure what works or what doesn't but you may find some useful info in here:

Thank you - a good resource! I know some phone services have lots more hidden features (and wasn't sure if PM had them), but this is a good start.

@pajo Cell phone users aren't going to memorize this stuff. All I know is *67 and #31#.
