Hidden Things
 
Most mobile phones have features hidden from their users. Special functions for service, testing etc. The T39 is no exception to the rule, and on this page I will present the ones I've found out about on other webpages.

Service menu
 
By pressing the following key sequence, a service menu is brought up.
rightarrow * leftarrow leftarrow * leftarrow *
 
The service menu has the following structure.

    1 Service info
        1.1 SW information
        1.2 SIMlock
        1.3 Configuration

Personalize
 
WARNING! Be careful. This is the menu that enables locking the phone to a specific operator. And there is no easy way back if you screw up.
By pressing the following key sequence, a "Personalize" menu is brought up.
leftarrow * * leftarrow
 
The service menu has the following structure.

Personalize
    1 Network
    2 Network subset

Easter Egg
 
Small, hidden things, often with a funny twist, in computer software are called Easter Eggs. The T39 has a really nice one, the classic Snake game. Hiding a game as an easter egg in a phone with very limited amount of memory is actually quite cool I think. Here's how to get to the hidden Snake game.
 
1. Start the game Erix
2. Press 7
3. Press 8
4. Press 9
 
The game starts, control the snake by pressing 7, 5, 9 or 0.

I had my first T39m in 2001 and I'm here in 2024 because I've just bought another one. Yes, it's 2024, but it's an impressive phone!

I had a T39 back in 2001 with the IAT-10 antenna. Best phone ever.
I have an R320s today as of 2021 with the IAT-10 antenna.
Thanks for this great Website.

Brought here by nostalgia of that exciting age for mobile phone technology. Those were truly the days!
Thanks for keeping this page running to this day

You missed the charging cradle. The Charging cradle for T28/29/39 is pretty much the best one EVER made for any phone.

The styling, the construction, and the quality of electronics, it is still not surpassed by anyone now, and that\'s 2014...

I just dug out mine, and the charging cradle worked wonder now as it had always been.

I have a refurbished T39 that I bought from Ima shop 5 years ago (MUCH cheaper then!), but the charger was counterfeit and never worked. I hope to get my hands on a genuine one at some point
