In this article, we will explore a list of Android hidden USSD codes that every Android user should be aware of.

What Are USSD Codes?

USSD codes, often referred to as Quick Codes or Feature Codes, are a type of protocol used by GSM cellular telephones to communicate with the service provider's computers. These codes are initiated by entering a specific combination of characters, followed by the "dial" button. They can access various functions and services, from checking your device's IMEI number to enabling call forwarding.
