Nowadays almost everyone has one or more mobile phones. We became so dependent of them, that if you take a second and look around you on the street, you can see dozens of people talking to their friends or text messaging and even emailing. The mobile phone is a must for many of us and we can't imagine how a day without it could be.

When you have a mobile phone you must know something about it like how many mega pixels does the camera have, what brand is it and other things. Besides these classical questions there are some that you may not know the answer anymore. These secret questions have secret answers that are generated by secret codes.

A secret code is a number that you type it with the help of the phones keypad and at the end of it, you will be shown the desired answer. Do you want to know what version of SW do you have in phone? IMEI number and other many secret stuff ? Then you should use one of the many mobile phone secret codes. These secret codes are very diverse from showing the IMEI number to showing the entire life timer.

If you have a mobile phone I am sure that you tried at least once a secret code or just a known code to discover different aspects of your phone. There are many codes for almost all mobile phone manufacturers such as Nokia, Alcatel, Bosch, Dancell, Ericsson, Hagenuk, Mitsubishi, Motorola, Philips, Sagem, Samsung, Siemens, and many other.

Most of these mobile phone secret codes can show you all types of information about your phone. An example is the life timer. Even though you reset the timer of your phone, using such a code can show you the time amount of all the calls that you made and received. This code is very good because there are many people who want to sell their phones and they reset the standard timer making you think that the phone is new even though it isn't and using the code you can check this thing.

There are secret codes for turning on/off the enhanced full rate codec, for turning on half rate codecs, for showing the software version, the IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity), to show the security code of the mobile phone and many others. These are just a few examples of the mobile phone secret codes.

Personally, I don't know how these codes appeared or if they are legal or not, but their appearance is not important. It only matters that they are here and we are free to use them and nobody can forbid us doing so. All in all the lifes of some of us would be empty without these mobile phone secret codes because they come in help for some people in a large measure.
