What is '*Now' in my Address Book?

Question

hi Y'all,

I've been curious about something... When I go to Menu then to Address Book there is a listing labled "*Now" with a number of "*669" just below the entry. Anyone have a clue what it is? I know I didn't place it there 😕

My phone is a Samsung Propel.

Thankx in advance,

B.W.

That short code will return the upgrade availability for that line of service.

I'm sorry if I seem so dumb about this.
