What does this *22899 do differently than just calling *228 and using the menus? (1 for reprogramming, 2 for updating roaming)

I keep seeing this in the posts but don't know exactly what it does that is different.

*22899 is the same thing as *228 option 1, just doesn't require any user input.

Curious....I've flashed DCD custom ROMs over and over, but never had to use the *228 I see mentioned. What does that actually do? I tried it on my Bell 6800, and press SEND after *228. "Programming in progress..." appears in yellow above the call info panel, but I hear "Your call cannot be completed as dialled".

Just curious as I seem to get by without it anyway.

*228 (not the *22899) also works for Alltel.

Bell is probably *22803 like Telus.

I'm curious about this as well... I've done the *228 option 1 many times; but exactly what is that doing to my phone behind the scenes?
