Where on earth does *86 dial to?????

Um, it dials to the the voicemail system.

Someone out there is a master at cracking these things!

Cracking what?

With all the hackers someone must find this a cinch to do.
HELP!

Sure. It's a cinch: the phone sends "*68" as the dialed
digits. When the switch sees "*86" as the dialed digits, it
connects the caller to the voicemail system.

There, we've "cracked it".

You're welcome.

I think what he's talking about is that when *86 dialed, the phone actually
dials a 10-digit number, as is the case with SIM card phones. In fact, with
a SIM card phone, you can discover the number that's dialed in some place
in the config screens.
