For those who live other then the US or unlocked and have a non-functioning Voicemail button, here’s how to change the default number.
Step 1: Find your carrier�s voicemail number is (for example, in Singapore the SingTel voicemail number is 1389 and in Australia, the Vodafone voicemail number is 121)
Step 2: Click the phone button in your iPhone. (Green one, bottom left)
Step 3: Click the keypad tab.
Step 4: Type the following: *5005*86*yourvoicemailphonenumber# (just google for your phone carrier’s voicemail number).
Step 5: Hit the call button and wait a few seconds.
Step 6: Hit the voicemail button, and it will now call your voicemail.
That’s all!
Spot-on directions… A God-send… Thanks!
Hi, this won’t work if the VM number starts with “*” … Do you know how to solve this?
how to chose your voicemail recording?
Great work, works like a charm
does anyone know how to do a conditional forward to vmail – ie on no answer or busy. i can get to my vmail but it rings and rings without going there on incoming calls
If you have * as part of the number you should dial (let’s say you have to dial *86 ) then you can substitute the * for number 1 (to continue with the example you shoul put 186, at the end you get *5005*86*186#) This works for movistar in Mexico where we have to dial *86 to get our voicemail
trick with 1 instead of * not working in panama where you need to dial *111 for CW network…
any other solution for voice mail?
In Brazil, I can get to my VM ether by dialing *100 or by calling myself. Since I couldn’t get the * thing to work I set my own number as the VM number and it worked.

It did not work in Movistar Colombia because the voicemail number stars with *. Any solution for that?
Thanks a lot
for movistar colombia, dial:
**5005*86*+(voicemail number)#
this works for movistar ecuador
ie: **5005*86*+82#
Hello,
I tried every option you guys wrote… and nothing worked for me.
i’m from Israel, and my carrier is Orange. the voicemail number does have a-* at the begining.
any ideas?
**5005*86*+82# for movisar Ecuador has not worked for me!
Great – Thanks
Worked for Voicemail for Orange in Israel
Note the voicemail number is *151 so I had to enter two *s in a row as follows:
*5005*86**151#
PANAMA…. Good News!! *5005*86**111# is now working for C&W.
You need to enter double * before 111
Thanks.
