Make International Calls With any Locked iPhone!

Thu, Nov 29, 2007 | by Stéphane Dion

Just like any mobile phone in the world, it’s possible to make an emergency call with the iPhone when it’s physically locked (not by AT&T but with the iPhone top button…).

But when the iPhone is locked, it’s not really locked and you can still make calls anywhere in the world. You can even surf the contacts and pictures of a locked iPhone. You don’t believe me? Fine, try this:

1.From a locked iPhone go to emergency calls, type "*#301#" 2.Answer the call
3.Hold the call
4.Decline the call
5.Go to Contacts
6.Create a new contact
7.Add new URL
8.Type "sms:"

Do the same thing for the pictures:
Same to step 7 then
8.Type "prefs:"
9.Go to wallpaper
10.Camera roll

One piece of advice: Don’t lose your iPhone!

Thanks Vijay

Yeah, that works. But once you lock it and unlock it with the passcode, it says: Touch to return to call. At the top until you turn your phone off completely. Also, when you lock it and turn it back on, it says, “1 calling…” That would get annoying, but if you’re trying to get into someone’s locked iPhone, it doesn’t matter.

Someone sould easily use the phone, turn it off and on again and leave it so the owner of the phone doesn’t know.

Apple are making a 3G iPhone but they havn’t even got this one right yet!

completly unrelated

I was just typeing and didn’t notice this before but if you hold down a letter let’s just go with ” a ” then click somewhere else on the keyboard
it brings up symbols that coeispond with “a”

May be something old but I just noticed
