If you have successfully unlocked your iPhone, you may have discovered already that the voicemail button doesn't do anything at all. It won't give you visual voicemail, but you can easily get the voicemail button to work using any carrier following these steps:

1. First, take note of what your voicemail number is with your current provider (for example, in Spain the Vodafone voicemail number is 177).
2. Click on the phone button in your iPhone.
3. Click on the keypad tab.
4. Tap the following code:

*5005*86*xxx#

The xxx is the voicemail number, in our example it will read: *5005*86*177#

5. Tap call.
6. After a second, the code will have been set.
7. Tap now on the voicemail button and it will automatically call your usual voicemail service.:p

I have a hardware unlocked iPhone down here in Brazil. It's working fine, but I have this problem with the voicemail button, it just does not work.

The voicemail number for my service provider is *100 and if I try to use

*5005*86*100# or
*5005*86**100#

the button start to work but it calls some other number.


Thanks in advance,

SudE, you have to use your International voicemail number and not the short one that includes the star (*).

To find out your International number from your iPhone dial *#61#, the number you need is after "Forwards to".

Hope that helps.

Manuel,

Thank you very much... it worked fine.

BTW, my service provider is Claro and the voicemail number is actually my own mobile number.

I didn't use the format +5511xxxx-xxxx, it worked fine just with xxxx-xxxx.

To configure i dialed: *5005*86*xxxxxxxx#

being xxxxxxxx my mobile number.

Thanks,

SudE
