Discovering Verizon Wireless Service Codes

Thursday, January 18, 2007

This issue could sound strange to the ears of many Verizon's customers. However, there are people who ignore the service codes to access a number of different features provided by the carrier to empower the mobile experience.

In other words, we can easily say that they are just getting half of the power that their smartphones can offer.

Some of the Wireless Service Codes provided by Verizon are free, some others have a cost per minute plus air time, and they require you to press either SEND or END accordingly to access the services listed below:

*VM or *86 - Voice mail access
#VG or #84 - Voice Gear, voice dialing and information
#BAL or #225 - Check Balance via free text message
*BAM or *226 - Verizon Wireless Customer Support
