If you've unlocked your iPhone via the AnySIM application or another method and have lost your ability to access visual voicemail, there's an easy fix -- as reported by iPhone Atlas reader "Gumps," and originally posted on on the whirlpool.net.au user forums by Simon K.

Gumps writes:

"Many people including me had an unusable voicemail button on the iphone after unlock. I have found a simple solution thanks to whirlpool.net.au forum's user Simon K."

Open the Phone application, then tap the keypad function. Enter the following:

*5005*86*phonenumber# (where "phonenumber" is the number you dial to get to your voicemail) then press the Call button.

The above code is not working for my iphone. I am an AT&T customer and have an unlocked iphone. Currently my voice mail button is of no use.
