Samsung — Mmi Codes
Mobile phones have become an essential part of modern life, and Samsung is one of the leading manufacturers of mobile devices. To access various features and functions on Samsung phones, users can use MMI (Man-Machine Interface) codes, also known as dial codes or short codes.

Users can instantly check their IMEI number by dialing #06#, which is crucial for unlocking the device or reporting it as lost or stolen.
