Common test numbers 
Basically These Numbers are used to verify what carrier you are using. 

ALL CARRIERS 
018 01 8222 Own number RVA 
12711 Long distance carrier pre-selection confirmation 
1800 80 1921 Own number RVA 

These are some common numbers that all carriers should respond to, I have tried the last two and they work fine. but when i dialed the first number i got an engaged signal. BTW: RVA - stands for 
(R)ecorded (V)oice (A)nnouncement - so in other words if you get through you will hear a RVA. ANI-(A)utomatic (N)umber (I)dentification.Basically when you dial an ANI number the 
number of the phone you are using is read back to you. this is how payphone numbers were gathered in the olden days. 

Code: 

ANI inc. mobiles: 018 018 222 
Telstra ANI: 127 22 123 
Telstra ANI: 1800 801 920 
Optus ANI: 127 23 12 
iPrimus DCX: 1800 855 747 

CND blocking prefix 
Used to block outgoing CND info for a single call on a line that is preset to automatically send CND information. so basically its good for hiding your phone number from mobiles and other new technology house phones and numbers such as *10#. 

Code: CND blocking prefix 1831(+ phone number) 

CND sending prefix Used to send outgoing CND info for a single call on a line that is preset not to automatically send CND information.layman term to make it so people can see your number. 
Code: CND sending prefix 1832(+phone number) 

For Optus CND blocking prefix 
see the Optus Network Codes further down the page. 

Carrier Pre-selection Over-ride Codes 
Use a prefix code before the STD/IDD (phone)number you want to call to select a carrier (other than your pre-selected carrier) for that call.

The last one would have to be a favourite or at least very useful in particular situations. The CND blocking per call Number (*31#+phone number) is used for blocking calls from a particualr 
number...say the number of your fanatically obessed ex-girlfriend or maybe the number of a cuban cocaine dealer that you happen to owe money too. For people who dont understand how to use it, 
what you do is: 

-Pick Up The Phones reciever or handset. 
-Dial *31# then enter the phone number of the person who you dont want calling and yay....no more hassels. 
(unless they ring from a different number or a payphone , then your 
screwed.) 
-Hang up the phone =P 

Some Other ....interesting..... Numbers 
FAST - (F)ield (A)utomated (S)ubscriber (T)esting 

FAST is a testing number for telstra field technicians. Its number is 1800 050 051. To use FAST you will need a telstra employees PIN and ID number. There were a few ways of bypassing the employee and pin bit using *** 
(three asterixes, the asterixes still acts as wildcards in the phone world too.) To a phreak in australasia gaining access to FAST is better than gold there are so many things you can do with it...for example you access it from a payphone and you can get a read out of all the payphone numbers in your area.

MOBILE 
How to send free SMS and SMSc 

The following is a list of most the SMSC's (Short Message Service Centers) around the world. These can be used to send text messages for free. All you need to do is change the service center number on your phone (under "message settings") to one of the networks below. Don't choose your own network as you will get charged for it. There are just a few things to remember when trying this: 

If you use a network outside of your country, you will need international call roaming enabled (speak to your service provider about this). The network you are using may not be able to send to the network you are trying to send to. Therefore it may accept the message but can't send it. If you use a network outside your own country you will need type the recipients phone number in international format for your country because it's being sent abroad. For example we are in the UK and to send someone we know a message for free using a forein service center we would type in the ANDORRA message center into our phone and send it to +447788123456. The networks are becoming wise to this and are barring you from using their SMSC if your not on their network. Therefore it could become time consuming to find one that works. Remember though, when you find one that works, keep it to yourself because the less people know about it, the better.

TRACKING STOLEN MOBILES USING THE IMEI

This piece of info is handy if you don't want your mobile to be stolen and if you would like to track it down in case it ever gets stolen. Type *#06# on your mobile and it will display a 15 digit International mobile equpiment identifier (IMEI) number. write this IMEI number down. When ever a new SIM card is inserted into the mobile the IMEI gets stored on to the SIM. Hence its possible to track down the mobile number given the IMEI.
