GSM Network Services Command Strings
(copied from alt.cellular.gsm, posted by Anthony Berkow 12.12.97)

When various network functions are selected via the cellphone's menu using the keypad, the cellphone automatically generates the corresponding GSM network command string and transmits it to the network. These commands can however be manually entered via the keypad.

Each command is prefixed with either one or two * or # characters as follows:

** register and activate
* activate
## de-register (and deactivate)
# deactivate
*# check status

Once each command has been entered, if it is a network command (as opposed to a local handset command) it must be transmitted to the network by pressing the YES (receiver) key which acts as an enter key - this is represented here with the © character. Always enter numbers in full international format +CountryAreaNumber (e.g. +31651234567).

GSM Network Service Codes

Note that at present only the following service codes are in use:
11 Speech
13 fax
25 data

In the future one will be able to control each individual call by use of the following service codes. To do this the user has to insert the service code in front of the last # in the MMI command above.

For example the sequence *21*number*16# would divert all SMS calls (and only these) to the given number.

Cellphone services

10 All types of cellphone services
11 Speech service
