iPhone Secret Codes and Hacks Overview

Here’s a quick review of the most used iPhone Secret Codes and Hacks

Note:* We are not responsible for any kind of damage to your device. However, all iPhone secret codes from the list are randomly tested and are working for us. There are also some sensitive codes that can harm the stability of your phone, so, use them wisely.

iPhone Secret Codes and Hacks Explained

1. iPhone Field Test Mode Code A Secret Code for Network

iPhone engineering mode code: *3001#12345#*

The iPhone Field test mode code is also known as “network code” or “Engineering Mode Code” as is actually used for determining the exact “network signal strength” in Decibels.

You all know the 5 black dots/bars in the upper left corner of your iPhone screen deliberately telling us the signal strength. The more bars simply means the more signals.

Dial *3001#12345#* for the “Field Test Mode setting” for the iPhone and it will unlock all the iPhone Secret Menu and hidden features on your iOS device.

After entering the field test code *3001#12345#* on the dial-pad and hitting the call button, you’ll enter the iPhone field test menu page, where you will find various network details.

After entering the field test mode just:

• Press and hold the Lock/Power button until the “Slide to Turn Off” appear on your phone screen
• At the “Slide to Turn Off” screen, press and hold the Home button
• That’s it; the network signal bars are replaced with network strength in Decibels
• To disable the decibels and get back the usual network bars on your iPhone, again, dial the “secret field test trick code” and tap on the top-left edge, which says “Phone” or you can simply press the home button once.

Qualcomm Chipsets and Intel Chipsets Behavior

The above Field Test Mode Code works with two chipsets (Qualcomm and Intel) and covers the iPhone 6 through iPhone 11 Pro Max as well as Verizon Wireless, Sprint, AT&T, and T-Mobile.

Let’s briefly understand the Field Test Mode Setting on your iPhone.

All the iPhones come up with the following two chipsets and these are:

Qualcomm chipsets: generally used for Verizon Wireless and Sprint Mobiles

Intel Chipsets: used for AT&T and T-Mobile

Which chipset your phone has will decide which menu you’ll receive in Field Test Mode.

So, which chipset your phone is using? Whether it is a Qualcomm, Intel, or other Japanese or international locations, the below table will tell you everything:

How to Check iPhone Model?

The other iPhone models which are not present in the above table, their chipset and model no. information can be found on their phones.

So, you have to look up the Part Number of your iPhone

Go to Settings >> General >> About
There you can clearly see the Part Number is listed there.
Actually, the Part Number corresponds to the Model Number for the iPhone you are using.

If you are still unable to find your model number then visit the Apple website to identify your iPhone model.

Once, you find your model number from the above list you’ll be able to determine it is a Qualcomm or Intel chipset then you know which menu you will receive when you go into “Field Test Mode”.

As I said earlier that Qualcomm is used for Verizon and Sprint while Intel is used for AT&T and T-Mobile.

iPhone Secret Code for Network Strength – Qualcomm Chipset

iPhone Field Test Mode with Qualcomm Chipset

If you have the Qualcomm chipset simply:

Go into your phone and dial 3001#12345# and tap on the call button on the screen.
You’ll enter the “iPhone test menu.”

Click on 1xEV-DO and the decibel measure number you are looking for is Rx AGC0.

You’ll see negative numbers there so the closer you get to zero means the larger number is the better signal.

In AGC0, the measurement:

• -7 0 Excellent Signals
• -70 to -85 Good Signals
• -86 to -100 Fair Signals
• -70 to -85 Good Signals
• < -100 means Poor Signal
•  -110 means there are no signals
  Where the symbol > represents the greater than and < represents the less than

iPhone Secret Code for Network Strength – Intel Chipset

iPhone Field Test Mode with Intel Chipset

The field test mode code is also the same for Intel Chipsets.

Just enter *3001#12345#* and hit the call button, you’ll enter in the field test menu.

You will see a bit different menu this time.

Well, Tap on the LTE and go to the Serving Cell Meas. Here we will discuss rsrp0

The decibel signal strength works similarly but has a little bit different range.

• > -90 means Excellent Signals
• -90 to -105 means good signals
• -106 to -120 show Fair signals
• < -120 shows Poor signals
• At -125 you’ll have no signal at all

Where the symbol > represents the greater than and < represents the less than

Once you have noted down the signal strength in decibels, press the Home Button and you’ll exit from the field test menu.

2. How to Check Original iPhone?

IMEI Number Shortcode: *#06#

How to Check Original iPhone?

There are no such direct codes for checking iPhone originality, however, you need to follow some procedures to check if an iPhone is original or fake.

Maybe, you know about this IMEI Number Shortcode: *#06#, Didn’t you? For people unfamiliar with this code, all smartphones come up with a hardcoded unique identification number that is called a serial number.

• To “check original iPhone” dial *#06# USSD code from your iPhone and it will show you the serial number and IMEI Number of your phone.

Now, how to check an iPhone is original or fake? Just follow the steps below:

If you have a carrier unlocked iPhone or a carrier that supports “hiding your caller ID”, then you can use this Hide Caller ID secret code to hide your identity/number when calling.

Your ID will be shown as “Unknown” or “No Caller ID” or a “Private Number”

Just write the USSD code along with the mobile number you are calling and tap the call button. It will temporarily deactivate the Caller ID. On the other side, the call will be anonymous and will show “Private Number”, because it is blocked.

The above USSD code temporarily works while calling businesses and individuals. However, your number can not be blocked while calling on a toll-free number or emergency call services.

If you want to hide your identity permanently, just call your cellphone carrier and ask for a line block. Once your request is approved, your phone number will never appear, no matter who you call.
