Came across this in Sunday's Independent on-line. No interest to me.
"A simple code can give you access to hidden information your iPhone, as well as allowing you to make changes to its private settings. The iPhone’s Field Mode is a largely hidden but useful tool that allows you to see extra information about how your phone is connected to the internet. The tool is enabled by dialling *3001#12345#* and then pressing the call button. Your phone will switch away onto a grey screen, after which you’ll see the extra information."

Awesome! But I think this is one case of since my phone works, I'm content to live in ignorance.

This has been around since the first iPhone. It can be vaguely useful if you have poor reception to help determine the best place to get signal.
I've also discovered a 'glitch' that this can trigger which is most useful, however I won't disclose what that is as I'm sure if the secret gets out the glitch will be fixed...
