A '''vertical service code''' ('''VSC''') is a sequence of digits and the signals [[asterisk|star]] (*) and number sign (#) dialed on a [[telephone keypad]] vertical service code or [[rotary dial]] to enable or disable certain telephone service features.<ref name=":0" /> Some vertical service codes require dialing of a [[telephone number]] after the code sequence. On a [[touch tone]] telephone, the codes are usually initiated with the [[Asterisk#Telephony|star key]], resulting in the commonly used name ''star codes''. On rotary dial telephones, the star is replaced by dialing ''11''.
