Vinko’s Thoughts On…

Instead of my readers having to scroll down to the comments in my original article or email me about the following must have knowledge about hacking your iPhone. I will post it here for all:

• Activate the Voice Mail button so that it calls your carrier’s Voice Mail service.

  Prior to doing this hack you will need to know the code to dial from your own mobile phone to access your carrier’s Voice Mail service.

  For example, Smartone-Vodafone in Hong Kong, the code is “138″ to reach the Voice Mail from your OWN mobile phone.

  1. Go to the Phone button;
  2. Click on the Keypad button;
  3. Type the command: *5005*86*XXX#
     where “XXX” is the code for your carrier’s Voice Mail service. In my example, I will enter “138″ in place of the “XXX”;
  4. Click on the Call button.
• Determine the firmware version of your iPhone straight out of the box from Apple before any hacking, activation or unlocking.
  1. Go to the Phone button;
  2. Click on the Keypad button;
  3. Type the command: *3001#12345#*
     to enter the Field Test mode;
  4. Select the Version item

  The following are the definitions of the “Firmware version” values:

  • 03.12.06_G = firmware version 1.0.0
  • 03.14.08_G = firmware version 1.0.1 or 1.0.2
  • 04.01.13_G = firmware version 1.1.1
  • 04.02.04_G = firmware version 1.1.1
