Re: How to ID the specific VZ cell tower to which you are connecting

JerryF,

I was wondering where you got the #878# code?  It doesn't quite work for me here in Seattle.  More on the results later after I gather some technical info.  I wonder if it is market specific?

Also I have never seen this code mentioned in any other forums.  Granted, I may have missed it because unfortunately, the # symbol is "special" in many ways and is notoriously difficult to search for.  Google and other places recognize it as a special code or character and either ignore it or return unintended results.  So if you go to Google and type #878# you will get a million things about 878 but not what you wanted!

So I am curious about the source, and if they can further elaborate.  # codes are considered shortcuts but I just started to research this and am having trouble understanding what happens at the handset, tower, and switch level when a # code is used.
