Ok I know that:

* 228 does both programming and PRL updates
* 72 does a call forward all
*73 does a cancel forwarding

What other codes are available for the use of the general public?

Duh.... I actually forgot that and *82 to unblock your caller ID digits.

I read somewhere there was * 71 that does some sort of modified call forwarding.
Thanks though for the reminder of those star codes.

Follow me roaming is nolonger used...

Also for prepay I believe you can use #PAY.

It should be noted that *PAY (*729) will set up call forwarding to the number 9, which will not do anything.

*I've seen a couple of people forwarded to 9, so it's not an uncommon mistake...

I would not use 922 or 923. They are used for e911 testing and they may (or may not) get you on the line with a emergency operator. Your location will not be sent to your phone using 922 or 923. It's not like a map will magically appear with your location on it. In fact, in many markets, 923 won't do diddly.
