You might be wondering at this point, why would I need to know these hidden codes on my smartphone? Simple, one of these codes allows you to access the IMEI of your device. With it, in case of loss or theft, you can inform this number to your operator so that it blocks the smartphone service.
Likewise, there are some other codes that we can use to access information, do tests or access hidden menus on our Android phones. However, some of these codes refuse to work on certain smartphone models or brands, but you can test each of them on yours.
ALERT! Some of these codes can erase your smartphone data, so test at your own risk. It is always important to warn to prevent the unsuspecting from losing important data on their respective devices.
