TYPE:
*3370# to activate Enhanced Full Rate
#3370# to deactivate Enhanced Full Rate
*4720# to activate Half Rate
#4720# to deactivate Half Rate
Enhanced Full Rate makes calls sound clearer and better, but decreases battery life by 5%
Half Rate drops call quality, but increases battery life by about 30%

ACCESSORIES
When using accessories, like batteries, chargers, headsets, casings and etc., always use Original Nokia Accessories. I have seen many phones get damaged by using non-original accessories.
