I guess I'm not sure how this could work? Every phone network in the world is different in its control codes. Like I posted above, Singtel uses #R#. So unless a telephone is programmed to know the carrier control code for notification, how would it work??
Perhaps you are referring to a phone that is locked to a particular carrier in which case it could of course be pre-programmed with the right codes. Since for instance A&T sells the iPhone in the USA, AT&T can put their own software on the phone to customize it for their network. I'm sure that Apple wouldn't mind if AT&T added such a feature on their phone. So wouldn't AT&T be at fault rather than Apple?
