Question Jailbroken 3G, Can't Set-up Regular Voicemail!

Hi,

Did a search on the Net and the AV Forums, but no solutions, hence this post.

Have a Jailbroken 3G iPhone (not 3GS, nor unlocked from O2 network), and am trying to set-up regular voicemail, so that it has a personal greeting ("Hi. You've reached Pooch...." etc, etc.)

When I go to Voicemail, it asks me to set-up a password, and choose either a Default or Custom Greeting. I enter my password, and choose Custom, then record a greeting. However, when I try to save the greeting, it comes up with "Unable to authorize access".

Can anyone help me out, please?! Thanking You all, in advance.

Thumbs up Re: Jailbroken 3G, Can't Set-up Regular Voicemail!

Hi,

Well, I've fixed it! It seems that you can only "activate" both the password and the change of message to a custom one, once you have an answerphone message. It's a weird glitch, but one that is easily rectified.

So, all you have to do, is call your own mobile number up, leave a message, and then once your iPhone tells you that you've now got an answerphone message waiting for you, go ahead and set a password up, and create your own custom message! Job done!
