Though iOS is known as a closed operating system, it offers ample flexibility to users for getting more out of the device.
Apart from its intuitive interface, amazing colour palate and decent usability, iPhone devices also feature several secret codes, which can actually open the door to a new world of smartphone computing.
These codes are usually a sequence of numbers and symbols, and meant to be entered through the usual phone dial pad, which you usually use for inputting numbers before placing a call. If you're unable to get any result after inputting the key sequence, kindly tap on the call button.
Following are the secret codes for you. Please read the subsequent result before trying them out.
IMEI Number
For fetching the International Mobile Equipment Number (IMEI) of your iPhone, kindly press *#06# on your dial pad. A flashing pop will appear with your phone's IMEI number. Please note that IMEI is a unique number and comes printed on your iPhone box. If your iPhone is lost or stolen, you need this number to lodge a police complaint.
Apart from iPhone devices, this information works with other smartphones and feature phones also.
