Use this Hack to Activate the Voicemail Button on your Unlocked iPhone
In case you have unlocked the iPhone using one of the software-only hacks then you would be aware that visual voicemail feature does not work. The iPhone Dev Team who bought us the first free GUI based iPhone SIM unlock tool called "anySIM" have delivered once again as they have...

I am in the Dominican Republic, using the iPhone with Orange, and the voicemail number is *777, when I type *5005*86**777# and I try to call a recording says: "Orange is not available to connect your call as dial, please try again or contact Orange customer services", what could I do to solve this???
Please, someone help me, that is the only thingh I need in order to have my iPhone working 100%.

Hey Luis, in case you haven't tried already, why don't you try *5005*86*777# and see if it works?
-
Is it going to cost anything extra on my cell phone bill to activate this feature?
And if so, how much extra is it going to be a month?
-
It shouldn't cost you anything.. It just creates like a shortcut to your voicemail. SO you can use the button instead of a contact.
With some carriers you can use a shortcut like *777 to jump straight to your voice mail with others you just call your own cell phone number.
I would call your cell company and find out what the phone number is to access you voicemail from a land line (not your cell phone). Then plug that into the above steps. Like I said before with a lot of US carriers you just call your own phone number.
Good Luck.

I'm from Toronto, Ontario, I can't believe that this has been hacked, I love the iPhone, its amazing.
There is only one thing I can find wrong with it, and only that one.
The digital keyboard, they should have made it that if you turn the iPhone horizontally that the keyboard will end up being wider and the keys wouldnt end up being that bunched up together. The one thing that is getting to me, is hitting the wrong key every so often. My TXT ends up sounding like a half retarted person.

Wait a min, this isn't the digital voicemail feature, is it? All this is, is just a shortcut to get to your voicemail.
BBBOOOOOO
that was already unlocked when I got my unlocked iPhone.
This isn't new.

I tried with *5005*86*777# and I had the same recording, I also tried my own number, and nothing, I also called my service provider asking them if there was another number for the voicemail and there is, but I'll have to dial my phone and my password that if I dial *777 from my phone I wouldn't have to, do you have any idea of any other way I can do it???Thanks

Hi guys thanx so much for all of this info here...I unlocked by phone using ibrkr and am still using AT&T as my carrier (on a business acct). My Voicemail button is active but I dont get visual voicemail. is there any solution for this?
-
Hello, I thought this was for visual voice mail. My voicemail button was working after the unlock (different method than anySIM). So i hope it helps everyone who has trouble with it.
-
It works for PlusGSM in Poland. Thanks a lot !
-
this method does not work when your voicemail numbers contains *xxx works just when xxx is your numbers without the * my vm bt is not working also
-
I'm not sure if this is carrier specific, or needs be programmed much in the same way as the above "hack", but with my iPhone on AT&T I'm able to hold "1" for a few seconds to dial voicemail.

HOw can i receive SMS notification from my voicemail? my iphone did not receive sms from my carrier.....
-
I've got a problem...I misread and thought it was to unlock visual voice mail. I already had the voice mail working, so when I dialed (*5005*86*xxx#)it actually messed it up and I can no longer get to my voice mail through that voice mail button on my iPhone. Any ideas on how I can undo what I've done? Thanks! I'm with Rogers if that helps!
-
hkman, just type *5005*86*# and it will reset the button.
-
I can't understand, what the big deal with the visual voicemail needing a carrier server!?
Isn't (or couldn't be) visual voicemail just an app only on the client (iPhone) that "picks up" the phone (localy) and plays a recording just to record what comes from the other side? (The caller payes the connection anyway, why should i have to pay again?)
Why does it need a server on the carrier side? -
Just want to say thans and it in Hong Kong.

Howdy. I am living in Switzerland and have unlocked my phone to Swisscom. Can anyone tell me the code I have to enter to get voicemail working. I have one option to divert to voicemail but that blocks all incomings and sends them straight to voicemail. And the voicemail button does not work.... Any help would be greatly appreciated....
-
I have an iPhone with 1.1.1 and try it with an Orange SIM card in Switzerland. I have to dial +4186078xxxxxxx
Then I think a can handle it with the following
*5005*86*+4186078xxxxxxx#
The phone accept it and I have to wait a few seconds but when I push the voicemail button nothing happens.
Also to reset with *5005*86*# doesn’t work after.
Any idea? -
panama here too, my cel phone carrier is also *111. I tried it with my own phone number, but I think that code is only for three digits... any other ideas? C&W Panama
