Since 2007, the iPhone has changed over and over. Not to mention it has become a totally dependent tool for so many individuals. You can use an iPhone or smartphone for practically everything. An alarm clock, a computer, a game player, a calculator, a map and so much more.
Not only are there entertainment apps, there are also apps that can save lives. Added features continue to be put forth, and it’s naturally hard to keep up. There are even some secretly added features on the iPhone that not many people know about. Check these out:
1- Mask Your Phone Number
Hit #31# before making a call and you are masked.
2-Find Out Your Signal Strength
Call 3001#12345# and hold the power button. Options will pop up, and you can come back to these later on.
Watch for the power down screen pop up, and hold the home button until you see the home screen.
Everything looks the same. Except for signal bars. You will now see a precise number which will measure your signal strength.
What’s the number mean?
Signal strength is measured on a scale from -40 to -140, with -40 being the best signal and -140 meaning no signal. Stay above -80 and you should be good.
3-Find Your Phone’s Identification Number
It’s almost like a VIN number for your phone. It’s called an IMEI number and you can find it by typing in *#06#.
4-See The Route All Your Texts Take
You might think when you send a text it shows on the person you are sending to. But it actually gets routed via a message center. Call #50057672# to reveal your wireless carrier’s hub number.
