If you need to make an important call but unfortunately you're in an area with a very weak signal, how can you boost your phone's reception?

If you want to call someone but don't want them to see your phone number, simply dial *#31# before their phone number.

This method works for any phone number. If you only want to hide your number when calling a specific person, just dial #31# followed by their number.

For those feeling a bit lazy, you can also use a small AAA battery. No need to stress, you can now enjoy gaming and scrolling through Facebook without any problem.
