Hi,

I have just joined o2 (hooray) after leaving the dark side (Vodafone).

 

My text messages are working fine, but I was just wondering if there is an equivalent to the Vodafone 9770. This enabled text messaging to be tested. If you sent a (free) text to 9770, Vodafone would then

text back if it was working.

 

Is there a list anywhere of useful o2 numbers and their function?

 

Thanks in advance...

@Doctor_Who 

With O2, you need to start your text with *0# and you will get a delivery report.

There aren't any other real sectret codes other than for checking your balance http://service.o2.co.uk/IQ/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE?New,Kb=Companion,question=ref(User):str(Mobile),C...
