Do you want to know what version of SW do you have in your phone? IMEI number? Below we have listed some secret codes for your mobile phone. With these codes, you can check the phone's IMEI, software version, reset to default language or even deactivate the simlock (but only in some models).

Some of codes listed below must by typed without the SIM card inserted in the mobile, and some with SIM card in the phone. Please be careful with some codes as you may permanently block your mobile phone if you do not follow instructions exactly.
