I'm pretty certain this is a hoax. Things like this have been going round
for years, and those codes, iirc only mean anything in the US

Hi all,
Received the folowing from a friend and thought members should know about
this latest scam although this sort of think does crop up from time to time.
Regards
Paul. Mobile Phone Alert
If you receive a phone call on your mobile from any person, saying that, he
or she is a company engineer, or saying that they're checking your mobile
line,
and you have to press # 90 or #09 or any other number. End this call
immediately without pressing any numbers. There is a fraud company using a
device
that once you press #90 or #09 they can access your "SIM" card and make
calls at your expense. Forward this message to as many friends as you can,
to stop
it.
All mobile users pay attention if you receive a phone call and your mobile phone displays (XALAN) on the screen don't answer the call, END THE CALL IMMEDIATELY, if you answer the call, your phone will be infected by a virus.
This virus will erase all IMEI and IMSI information from both your phone and
your SIM card, which will make your phone unable to connect with the
telephone
network. You will have to buy a new phone. This information has been
confirmed by both Motorola and Nokia.
PLEASE FORWARD THIS PIECE OF INFORMATION TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS HAVING A MOBILE.
