MMI-Sequence?

was calling my bank and clicked the numbers 11 and accidently clicked the call buttom, and it said "starting mmi-sequence" just wondering what that is?
 
Hello and welcome to the forums - thanks for joining!

I did not even realise what an MMI code was... here's what I have found for you:

An MMI Code is a sequence of digits that is entered into your phone to make it perform some special action.
These codes start and end with a * or # so they don't get confused with phone numbers you might want to dial. They're usually only valid when you're not on a call, so if you key one in while connected to your cellphone company's IVR system they won't be recognized. Some MMI Codes are dealt with by your phone - for example, there's usually one you can key in to find out what software version your phone has installed.
Most MMI Codes are sent to your Cellphone company as they are used to turn features on and off (Like call forwarding, call waiting, etc).

Sorry if that is a little confusing, but thought it worth trying to explain what MMI codes were.

Could you let us know what phone you have? If you head to Android Phones - Android Forums and scroll down until you find your phone's sub-forum, perhaps another user of the same device could shed some more light on the issue for you?

The searches I've done about starting MMI Sequence have not been very fruitful... it could be worth having a look at this thread as it talks about a similar issue.

Hope you find this place useful - good luck with your problem :)
