Anyone know that number you dial to access the "super-secret" phone settings?

So, I live in pretty much the only Verizon deadzone I've ever come across. So when I tried to activate my phone, it wouldn't work. So I called Verizon from my landline and I told them and they had me activate it manually. They had me type in some random string of numbers to the phone dial pad and it took me to a screen where I set my phone's ID and other stuff manually (that the activation call would do automatically). I'm just curious as to what's in here. Does anyone remember the number? I can't remember it for the love of me and it's not in my call log.

Probably: "##PROGRAM" with a validation code of "000000", but I may be wrong.
