Some codes can change settings for your phone on your carrier’s network. You need to ask the carrier if you changed anything important. For example, *#62# manages call forwarding for some carriers; people calling your number will be forwarded to a different number. So if you stop getting calls contact your carrier to undo it. And #21# will show the status of call forwarding for some carriers.


Stop following “advice” you get on the Internet or from “helpful” people. It will frequently get you into trouble.
