- Philips C12 / Philips Savvy / Cellnet U Tricks tips codes and undocumented info
-
- Background
-
-
- I received this Philips C12 on BTCELLNET U Prepay scheme free with my nice
- new shiny Barclaycard, And I wanna find out all this nice fun things that I
- can do with it that the manufactures dont tell you. So I set up this site.
-
- NEW:29/03/2000 Disconnection Rumours
-
- Apparently if you send someone an SMS from your C12 with the
- words: c12 chip, chipped and so on, you will be barred within
- a few hours. If you wanna try this on some suckers phone,
- let me know how it goes.
-
- Also, BTCellnet may be monitoring the network for repeated
- sequences of rapid power Off/On Before/After calls to
- scan for chipped phones
-
- NEW:15/02/2000 Send Free SMS messages *VERIFIED*
-
- Apparently if you send a text message, and you turn off the phone
- immediately after you send it, as requesting is displayed, then
- you will not have to pay for the sending of the message
-
- I have tried this twice just by holding the off button and twice
- by pulling the battery out. Anytime its been sent I have been billed =[
-
- Tip Courtesty of JM - Anyone with success on this plz contact me. You may
- like to use the *0# tip to verify delivery
-
- NEW:13/03/2000 How to chip your phone

-
- UPDATE:13/03/2000 This does work.....Sometimes. Whenever requesting
- is displayed, wait less than half a second and then hold the power button.

-
- NEW:08/02/2000 Collect your voicemail for only 5p/min.
-
- Call yourself , press * and enter your pin code . You'll end up
- at the voice mail main menu, press 2 to retrieve messages. Program
- the entry in your phone book for easy access along the lines of
- 0771XXXXXXXw*PINp26. This works as calling another cellnet phone when
- you are on the 'U' tariff is only 5p/min as opposed to 35p/min for
- regular voicemail.
-
-
- CORRECTED:13/03/2000 forgot the * in the example no, and 6 at the
- end to go straight to the message. Also, This only works if you have
- voice mail enabled! Dial 1750 to enable it.
-
-
-
-
- NEW:08/02/2000 SMS Notification
-
- You can recieve notification of successful delivery of an SMS message or
- notification if it never got there, by adding *0# to the very start of the
- message (NOT the phone number)
-
-
-
-
- NEW:08/02/2000 Quick Phone book
-
- You can bring up numbers from the phone book quickly by entering the
- number of its entry followed by #, so 1# would bring up the first entry
- in your phone book , 25# the twentyfifth, etc.
- You can use this to edit numbers in these locations too.
- I have used this in conjunction with the voicemail cheat so to collect
- my voicemail i go 1#[CALL]
-
- (I should have had this in ages ago but I forgot about it =]
- Credit goes to JM for reminding me of this one)
-

-
-
- NEW:24/1/2000 Get past other peoples PIN codes
-
- While Messing with customer services (accessed for free by holding down
- the 9 key on your phone, I discovered that you can get past anyone's PIN
- code by calling Cust Serv, Dialing 3, and 3 again, dialing the persons
- phone number and then listen for their PUK code. This works for ANY
- BTCellnet phone. So, If you wanna piss off your friends, or can think
- of a more practical, not so immature use, enter their pin code in wrong
- 3 times, followed by this PUK code. WARNING: Entering the PUK code in
- wrong 10 times will destroy their SIM card.
-
-
-
- The Philips C12 is actually a philips savvy phone, I believe it also has
- another name too, but I cant remember just at this moment in time.
-
-
-
-
- The phone you receive is service provider locked and simlocked. This means
- that it can only be used with BTCELLNET sim cards and with the sim card that
- came with the phone (the latter is not checked) so if you lose your sim
- card, the whole phone must be returned.
-
-
- UPDATED 11/1/2000: The phone is not Simlocked, only service provider
- locked so you may use a simcard in the phone that is a contract simcard on
- BTCELLNET. but not any other network. This also means that the whole phone
- does NOT need to be returned should you need a new sim card.
-
-
- Also, the simcard will work in other phones that work with BTcellnet, BUT
- the network will refuse them access. I believe if you reprogram that phone
- with your own IMEI it'll work, I'd like to try this one. It says IMSI failed
- or just refuses to register. I'd also like to try this when the phone was
- roaming and see if it could register to another network. If you try this,
- plz report back with results.
-
-
-
-
- The phone can be 'chipped' to allow free calls, every time you reset the
- phone your credit returns to a specific amount, this requires som pic chip
- to be programmed and inserted into the phone, it conflicts with the alarm
- feature and I think BT notices and terminates that phone after a while.
-
-
-
-
- *#06# Shows your IMEI number. Search the net for explanations of this
- number. Hint: its boring
-

-
-
- International calls are barred by BTCELLNET currently, this pisses me off.
- To make international calls you can get one of those phone card things.
- I recommend AXS telecom, 08003582223 to sign up - quote account number
- GB63724 for รบ5 worth of free calls from it. it costs 35p/min to phone the
- 0800 no they give you (or free from any other phone) and then calls are
- ridiculously cheap, 2p/min to anywhere in the UK, 5p/min Sweden,4p/min USA
- and you can call from your home phone, payphone or wherever, its great.

-
- UPDATED 08/02/2000: They will remove the bar on international
- calls if you phone up and request it now!
-
-
-
-
- Removing the simlock is possible, you do however need an eeprom
- reader/writer to do it. I do not own one of these =[.
-
- Accessories are available from
- "http://www.wirefree-mobile.com http://www.wirefree-mobile.com/phillips.html"
- such as flashing ariels, replacement covers, cases etc.
-
- You can enable call waiting, but whenever a person phones you when you
- are on the phone they get the message, "Sorry there is a fault". Any
- more info will be appreciated.
-
- *43# Enables call waiting, #43# Cancels call waiting, *#43# Checks Status.
