Do you know that the iPhone also has secret codes to carry out different things?

Every different smartphone has its secret codes derived from its manufacturer. Sometimes, it becomes difficult to track all secret codes and utilize them. This article will share some of the best iPhone secret codes.

Best Hidden iPhone Secret Codes

You must enter these secret codes into the dialer to find information about the device, masking calls, troubleshooting issues, etc.

1. 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 and -60dB, the signal strength is excellent. It is good between -70dB and -90 dB. Anything beyond -100dB means the signal strength is poor.

2. 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.

Once the Slide to Turn Off option appears, press & hold the home button instead of sliding. You will now see the network strength in decibels on your iPhone’s status bar.

3. Hide Your Caller ID

*31#mobile number

You might have received many calls on your iPhone with no or unknown caller ID. Have you ever wondered how that is possible? Few carriers support hiding the caller ID, allowing users to make anonymous calls.

You can also hide your caller ID with the code we have shared, but the only criteria are that your carrier should support the feature. We have also shared the codes for different countries; type the code on the dialer followed by the number you want to call.

If your carrier supports hiding caller ID, it will be hidden or shown as ‘Unknown.’

4. Check cellular data usage

If you rely on your telecom operator’s cellular data, you can use the supported USSD to find your cellular data usage. Depending on your carrier, you need to dial the following codes on the dialer.

Verizon: #3282

If you have a postpaid plan, use the *646# USSD code to check the available cellular data usage.
