Hi Kikikiki1989,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
You would need to reach out to your wireless provider to see what these messages are referring to as they are functions of the provider, but they appear to be referring to the call forwarding functions. You can use this resource to contact them: Wireless network provider support and features for iPhone in the United States and Canada
If you need to, you can change your country or region at the bottom right of the page.
We hope this helps.
Cheers!

Now, delving into the user's concern about entering the code ##002# on an iPhone 13 with the latest iOS 16, it's crucial to emphasize that this code is associated with call forwarding functions. The user, Kikikiki1989, expresses concern about the possibility of their iPhone being hacked, especially given a recent alleged hacking incident with impressive capabilities.
