Well I unlocked my iphone and im running 1.1.2. Everything is good, but when I click on voicemail, it tells me to enter my password. I have never had to do this so I do not know my password? is this normal w/ unlocked phones? I read on the forum that it only works w/ att, and I have att. Anyone have any ideas?

Hahaha its the password that you set when starting ATT service. You can change your voicemail password from ATT's site or from the menu

General > Phone > Change Voicemail Password
 
I know this was a long time ago but to the OP, are you saying that you have an unlocked iphone on AT&T without a contract and have visual voicemail access?

I thought that VV was not possible unless one had a legit contract with AT&T?

If I am mistaken, can you (or anyone else) tell me what I need to do to activate VV on my iphone (short from actually signing up for a new contract of course!)

I was confused as well, but I've seen what he's talking about and it's with an AT&T iPhone contract, so I doubt its without one. I have an unlocked 1.1.2 iPhone but I'm on the iPhone AT&T plan, whenever I switch my SIM back to AT&T, it asks me for my vv password. As far as I know, you have to have the iPhone plan for it work.
