The Motorola Motofone accepts many options which are not directly available from the standard menu. These codes are generally used to configure more advanced options.
  +
===Usage===
  +
The codes described here have a three asterisk prefix (***) and an asterisk suffix followed by the up action key ( *↑ ) on the top left of the keypad.
  +
  +
***<nowiki><code number></nowiki>*↑
  +
  +
There are also (unrelated) codes for phone information details (<code>* * 9 9 9 9 * ↑</code>) and
  +
phone IMEI (<code>* # 0 6 #</code>).
