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.
