Two special "phone numbers" can to be generated individually for each concrete SIM card from its IMSI by special algorithm at request in Siemens AG ordinarily. If you don't want bother Siemens AG, you can try faster and easier way:

Download activation freeware from author's page - thanks to authors Greenstone & DarkBear.
If link above not works, you can download local copy.

If one from both generated numbers exists (with arbitrarily name) on last position of SIM card Phonebook (SM) during mobile switching-on, then Monitor menu can to be displayed from main level of standard menu pressing [*] or [#] .

One number enables limited level 2 of Monitor menu (gray background on schema) with two fixed items only:

Second number enables advanced level 1 of Monitor menu with one fixed item Configuration and 6 other items, which can to be enabled/disabled using Configuration menu.
