Digital Models -- General
	For digital phones some of the analog codes work if you punch them in twice.
	IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity): *#06# (newer GSM phones only)
	Radio Base Station (RBS) Menu: * * * 113 * 1 * [Ok] [Menu] [Eng Field Options] [Enable] (Hold the '*' key while entering this sequence until the box appears before entering the next key. Replace the * 1 * with * 0 * to disable this menu. This seems to work only on some firmware versions). Distance From Base Station: During a call press [Menu] until 'Eng Field Option' is displayed, press [Ok], select 'Active Cell', press [Ok], press [Menu] until 'Time Adv xxx' appears, where xxx is a number. Multiply this number by 550, and the result is the distance from the RBS (Radio Base Station), in metres. Signal Quality: press [Menu] until 'Eng Field Option' is displayed, press [Ok], select 'Active Cell', press [Ok], press [Menu] until 'C1' appears. This is the signal quality. If it becomes negative for longer than 5 seconds, a new cell is selected.
V60c
	Programming Mode: 74663 # [Menu] [Menu] (you will need the programming code)
	Field Test: [Menu] 073887 * (you will need the security code -- try 000000) To deactivate field test: Power phone up, hit MENU and the left button (should bring up the menu). There's a menu option for test-mode and at this point you can turn the menu off and return the phone to normal. Alternatively press menu and then the nearest button to the left (Phone book button) quickly and it will take you back to the main screen and your phone will look normal. (Thanks Brance)
