Nokia Phone Secrets
First things first, Nokia is a worldwide Corporation which owns 36% of the market share. So no doubt alot of you own a Nokia mobile, whether it be CDMA or GSM.
CDMA : Is a phone which does not need a sim card to run, it just stores everything on the phone.
GSM : Is a phone which has a SIM card (like Vodafone)
There are several codes that you can use on Nokia's, i will run through these in this article.
(Stand-by mode is the main/home screen which displays your battery charge and signal)
(NOTE: The Service Programming Menu only works on CDMA phones)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Service Programming Menu - *3001#12345#
This menu is the mother of all Nokia codes, you can edit your phone like mad here, most of these menus your service provider probably doesn't want you to have the ablity to do. So here we go.
On stand-by mode, type in *3001#12345# and wait a few seconds for it to load up. Once the screen comes up you will have several options, all with different functions. (NOTE: this menu differs on different phones.)
1. NAM 1
2. Change SPC
3. Security
4. Server addr.
5. SW version
6. Serial number
7. Programmed
8. Field test
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
1. NAM 1 (* means explained below)
This is the most useful menu your phone has, it allows you to edit the heck out of your phone! inside NAM 1 there are these different menus:
Own number*
Mobile ID number
A-key code
Alpha tag*
Emergency*
Service No.
CDMA settings
NAM status
Own number:
Self explanitory, but if you want a new number then this is where you want to go. Just enter this menu followed by the SPC (see Change SPC) then change your number. This DOES work, but the new phone number you want must not already be in use.
Alpha tag:
You know on the standby screen, theres the "Vodafone" or "Telecom" or "T-Mobile" that appears? well now you can get rid of that annoying tag. Change this to whatever you please, just to make your phone more personalised.
Emergency:
This menu is basically a menu which displays all the numbers that will divert to the emergency number of your area. For example, if you live in USA and your emergency number is 911, in this menu there will be "911","811", "991" and the obvious numbers that you may type in while trying to reach 911. It's smart not to mess with these, because you never know when you'll be in an emergency. There should be some free slots so why not add in a couple more numbers that you want to divert to your emergency?
Some people think "Wow! emergency number! that calls for free, so maybe if i put in my friends number then it will give me free calls to him/her!" WRONG. This menu can NOT give you free calls. If you were to put in your friends number, then whever you called them you would end up calling the emergency line - as that's what you're diverted to! REMEMBER THIS!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Change SPC
The SPC is the Service Programming Code. This code is rather hard to come across, as the service providers try to hide it from the public so they can't access these places on their phones. But luckily enough if you live in New Zealand then here is the code :)
147359 - Is the default code that will let you into 'almost' anything
665205 - Is the 'master' code, that will let you into anything you like
So, this menu just means you can change the code. NOTE: some places when you buy the phone tend to access this menu and change it so that the owner can't access it :( that is not always the case though!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Security
This menu just shows you the security code that is installed on your phone, couldn't be more bland.
FUN TRICK: why not have a look at your friend/work mates' phone and access this menu, you could then see their security code or change it just for fun :) But we're nice people and that's naughty, so we arn't going to do that are we..
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Server addr.
This is the server address of your service provider. Nothing you can do here.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
5. SW version
Once again, another menu with not alot of meaning. All you can do in here is check out when your phone was activated, and what version software it is running. This can also be accessed on GSM phones (see below)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
6. Serial number
This is your serial number. DUH.
It would be a wise idea to jot this down somewhere safe, because this could be useful. If your phone was ever lost or stolen then you could contact your service provider and give them this code. This would let them shut the phone down so that your robber couldn't use your phone - or access anything on it for that matter.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
7. Programmed
This is just a menu that you can only access once, which lets you type in when your phone was programmed.
Seem like the menus are getting lamer? Wait for the next one..
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
8. Field Test
This is an option which is quite cool really. Go into Field test and change "Disabled" to "Enabled". Then get out of the whole service programming menu.
Now, turn your phone off, and back on again.
Once it loads up go to your normal menu and scroll to the bottom. Notice you have just added a new menu to your phone? It is called Net Monitor.
Net Monitor speaks for itself, with this option you can monitor your network to a small extent.
Enter Net Monitor and it will prompt you with "Group/display:" enter in 3101 and press OK.
It should take you back to your standbuy screen, nothing will have changed. But wait a few seconds and then all these numbers will appear on your screen. What do they mean?
There is only one number you can really understand in this menu. This number is located as the third number down, it will say something like "-50" (the 50 can range anywhere from 10 to 99). This is how strong the signal is.
For example : If your phone displayed -10 here then it's telling you that your neighbour is a cell site and your signal is really really good.
If your phone displayed -90 then it's basically telling you that where you live or where you are at that certain time has really bad signal.
You will notice that as you get closer/further away to a cell site this number will grow or decrease.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
That sums up the Service Programming Menu, and the extra things your service provider doesn't want you doing :}
There are many other codes that you can use on CDMA phones, just search around for them.
Extra Codes:
*#66767# - This code when spelt out is "NO-SMS" so shouldn't that mean no texting? well, yes. If you enter this code in on your phone then you will no longer have the ability to "Create Message" or "Reply". If you're really mean then enter it on your brother or sisters phone, that's sure to give you some laughs. You can bring them back again by re-entering the code.
*#639# - This brings you to the menu which just re-programs your phone faster. I wouldn't reccomend you doing this if you value your phone.
*#7780# - This takes you to a menu which says "Restore Factory Settings", i think you understand what will happen if you press yes :p
GSM Code:
This is the only GSM code i know from the top of my head, just search around for more as i'm sure they're out there.
*#0000# - This is probably the most useless code you can find, but anyway it just gives you information on when your phone was activated. If your phone was sent in for repair, then this date will have changed to the date when it was fixed.

Nokia tricks
To check the IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) Type-
*#06#
Information you get from the IMEI-
XXXXXX XX XXXXXX X
TAC FAC SNR SP
TAC = Type approval code
FAC = Final assembly code
SNR = Serial number
SP = Spare
That code works not only on Nokia phones, but on ALL mobile phoens.
To check the phones Software revision type-
*#0000#
Information you get from the Software revision-
V 05.31
18-02-99
NSE-3
1ST Line = Software revision
2ND Line = The date of the software release
3RD Line = Phone type
To enter the service menu type-
*#92702689# (*#WAR0ANTY#)
Serial number (IMEI)
Production date (MM/YY)
Purchase date (MM/YY) You can only enter the date once.
Date of last repair (0000=No repair)
Transfer user data to another Nokia phone via Infra-Red
Clock Stopping
To check weather your SIM Card supports clock stopping type-
*#746025625# (*#SIM0CLOCK#)
Revealing the Headphone and Car-Kit menus
Please note that if you do these next tricks, the new menus can't be erased without retoring the factory default settings. To do these tricks you need to short-circuit the pins on the bottom of the phone next to where you plug in you charger.
1. To activate the "Headset" menu, you need to short-circuit pins "3" and "4". After a short time the word "Headset" will be shown in the display. Menu 3-6 is now enabled.
2. To activate the "Car" menu, you need to short-circuit pins "4" and "5". After a short time the word "Car" will be shown in the display. Menu 3-7 is now enabled.
THE REBOOT TRICK
This should work on all software versions of the 6110.
1. Go to the Calendar (Menu-8)
2. Make a note or reminder.
3. Enter some text into the edit box.
4. Hold "Clear" until the whole text is cleared, then press "Back".
5. Press "0". The main screen will now be showing but a space appears on the screen. (you can't see it)
6. Enter 4 digits (e.g. 1234).
7. Use the down arrow to move the cursor to the left side of the numbers and the space (Down arrow twice).
8. Now enter 6 digits and press the call button.
Wait for a few seconds, the screen should start to flash and reboots. It should alsowork on other menus like the "Profiles" menu.
EFR CALL QUALITY
To activate EFR (Enhanced Full Rate) Enter the code-
*3370#
This improves call quality but decreases batterylife by about 5%
To deactivate it, Enter the code-
#3370#
THE JAMES BOND TRICK
If you short-circuit theleft middle and right pins on the bottom of the phone with all connections touching each other, the Nokia software hangs! The profile "Headset" will be activated. Before you do this just activate the "Automatic Answer" in the headset profile and set the ringing volume to "Mute". Now you can use your phone for checking out what people are talking about in a room. Just place it under a table in a room and call it. The phone receives the call without ringing and you can listen to what people are saying.
NETWORK MONITOR
There is a hidden menu inside your Nokia phone. If you want to activate it, you'll have to re-program some chips inside of your phone.
Check your software version. You can only continue if you have v4.33, v4.73 or v5.24.
Take apart the phone.
De-solder the EEPROM (ATMEL AT 24C64).
Read out the data with an EEPROM programmer and save it to a file (Backup).
If you have v.33 or v4.73, change the address "03B8" from "00" to "FF".
If you have v5.24 then change the address "0378" from "00" to "FF".
Write the new data to the EEPROM and solder it back to the phone,
Power on your phone and you should have "Netmonitor" enabled.
The Network Monitor gives you the following information.
Carrier number
MS RX Level in DBM
Received signal quality
MS TX power level
C1 (Path loss criterion, used for cell selection and reselection). The range is -99 to 99.
RTL (Radio link timeout).
Timeslot
Indication of the transmitter status
Information on the Network parameters.
TMSI (Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity).
Cell identification (Cell ID, Number of cells being used).
MCC (Mobile country code)
MCN (Mobile network code)
LAC (Location area code)
Ciphering (On/Off)
Hopping (On/Off)
DTX (On/Off)
Discard cell barred information
CHECK SIM-LOCK
Note - If you bought your Nokia on UK Vodafone or UK Cellnet you do not need to check this because they both transmit on GSM900, and they don't lock the phones. However if you bought your phone on UK Orange or UK One2one your phone may be blocked. The reason is that they both transmitt on GSM1800. To make a call on GSM1800 you need what is known as a "Dual band" phone. A dual band phone is able to transmit on both GSM900 and GSM1800, so they lock the phones so you can't use it with any other network simcard. If you find that your phone is locked you can try different software to unlock it. (we havn't found one that works yet), or you can ask your service provider who will gladly exchange the 10 digit code for about £35.
This is how to check the status of the 4 different locks. Aslo don't try entering the wrong number, because after 3 times it will block the phone for good.
There are 4 different locks on your Nokia phone.
COUNTRY-LOCK
NETWORK-LOCK
PROVIDER-LOCK
SIMCARD-LOCK
The code to read out the sim-lock status of your phone is
#PW+(MASTERCODE)+(Y)#
# = DOUBLE-CROSS
W = PRESS "*" THREE TIMES
P = PRESS "*" FOUR TIMES
+ = PRESS "*" TWO TIMES
MASTERCODE = 1234567890
Y = NUMBER 1 TO 4
The master code is a secret code. The code has 10 digits, To read out the sim-lock status you can enter every combination you want!
"Y" Shows the status of the network-lock. Here you can enter a number from "1" to "4". The "4" is for the sim-card lock.
SIM-LOCK CHECKS
#PW+1234567890+1# = GIVES PROVIDER-LOCK STATUS
#PW+1234567890+2# = GIVES NETWORK-LOCK STATUS
#PW+1234567890+3# = GIVES COUNTRY-LOCK STATUS
#PW+1234567890+4# = GIVES SIM-CARD-LOCK STATUS.
