Get all star codes and self-service short codes for Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, and Sprint phones right here!

All carriers around the world and in the US have a bunch of star codes – also known as service codes – that you can punch in your phone's dialer app (speaking of which, Verizon still supports rotary phones , but that's another story!) and obtain some convenient functionality, such as enabling and disabling specific features in your plan, checking your bill and data usage, getting in touch with customer support, and much more. Especially on T-Mobile, whose excessive list of codes can be barely contained here!

Have a look at the things you can accomplish with your carrier's star codes, and bookmark the ones you deem useful! While you are at it, check out this list of secret codes for smartphones from popular brands (not all will work, but many are still active). We hope you will find these useful. Enjoy your phone!


On your Verizon phone, dial these codes to activate or deactivate the following features:

• Anonymous Call Rejection – *77 (Activate) / *87 (Deactivate)
• Busy Redial – *66 (Activate) / *86 (Deactivate)
• Call Block – *60 (Activate)
• Call Forwarding – *72 (Activate) / *73 (Deactivate)

• Per Line Blocking – *82 (Deactivate)

• Speed Dialing 8 – *74 (Activate)
• Speed Dialing 30 – *75 (Activate)

Enter any of these codes in your dialer and AT&T will send you a free text message with the details you wanted. You can use AT&T's star codes to get quick account updates in a rather convenient way.

There are three things to know about Sprint codes:

Airtime charges apply when dialing * and # numbers with the exception of *2, *3, *4, *5, *7, *911, #911, 611 and #ROAD.
Star or pound codes may or may not work in a roaming coverage area (including *2, *3, *4, *5, or #ROAD).
The list was last updated in 2012, so some of these may or may not still work. We'll try to get in touch with Sprint to bring more up-to-date star codes.
