List of 20+ Best Hidden Codes in 2022
You need to enter these secret codes into the dialer to find information about the device, masking calls, troubleshooting issues, etc. So, let’s check out some of the secret dialer codes for your iPhone.
Field Test Mode
*3001#12345#*
If you are looking for a code that can provide you with technical details of your network, you need to use this code. This iPhone secret code can help you find the accurate signal strength of your network in decibels.
- First, make sure that your iPhone has an active cellular connection.
- Next, open the phone app and enter the code on the dialer
- On the Field test menu, tap on the LTE.
- On the next screen, tap on the Serving Cell Meas.
- Now, on the next screen, look at the numerical measurement behind rsrp0
The numbers behind the rsrp0 are your iPhone cellular signal strength in dBm.
For those unfamiliar, if the numbers behind rsrp0 are between -50dB to -60dB, the signal strength is excellent. The signal strength is good between -70dB to -90dB. Anything beyond -100dB means the signal strength is poor.
Enter Field Test Mode in iOS 10 or Earlier
*3001#12345#*
If your iPhone runs on iOS 10 or earlier, you must follow a different method to enter the Field test mode. In iOS 10, you need to open your iPhone’s dialer, enter the code and tap the call button.
