Some * codes you may not know

[ClwTL]

*69 ...last call received
*67 1 (area) number ...make your call show up as restricted
*72 1 (area) number ...you want to forward to. call forward to number you selected.
*730 ...removes call forwarding
*22899 ...OTA update
*18 ...reset feature settings

Do you know if the Call Forwarding costs anything and if it does, how much?

It appears to be FREE.

One way to check is go to Mobile Web and click on Verizon Services, My Account, and My Features.

What is the *18 ...reset feature settings ?

[m1ssy]

ok, I may sound dumb, but what do you have to enter after you put in these codes to make them work? I tried several different things and nothing works. I've done others and they worked, but that is because I was at a menu to make them work. under tricks and tips, there was one about batter power, *3370#, does anyone know if that really works? cuz I can't get anything to even happen, it just wants to dial the number.

I think you press SEND after the code.

The battery code may only work for certain phones and may not even be Verizon phone.

it doesn't cost anything but if you call forward from one cell phone to the other than you get charged double airtime because it is technically using both phone numbers. keep that in mind that a forwarded 10 minute call is 20 minutes of airtime

*18 resets feature settings. what happens is when a Wireless customer service rep makes changes to your setting such as adding or removing vcast or messaging, sometimes your phone doesn't see the changes right away. what you do is enter the star eighteen and your phone drops all of the settings it has saved in its memory and looks at your account to find new settings. Techs use it all the time after they remove call forwarding from your account because sometimes the phone still looks for calls from the forwarded number. its called a feature refresh.

It doesn't work on any verizon phone. that code was for old gsm phones. vzw is cdma so none of our phones can do it and only a few of the old phones from singlebar can do it.
