If you have a cingular phone ANYONE can listen to your voicemails!!!
 

I can prove it too. Give me your cingular cell number (please yours only) turn of your phone and let me call, I will tell you exactly the first message that plays. This is pretty scary stuff.

thank god my messages are all very boring.

But still that is a major violation of privacy.

Just explain how so I can latter fuck with others, thxs.

nah I don't want to be the guy that exposes this bug to the internet.

This is very simple we discovered this over 2 years ago when developing our voip project. We alerted this to Cingular/Att but they did nothing.

All that is required is that you setup your voip phones caller id to the same number as the cell phone and the voice mail lets you straight in.

i heard about someone talking about this before and I think I know how its done. requires YOU to have a cingular phone correct?

edit: nm, just saw this post ^^ above

Ok at least I'm not the one that exposed it but yep your right.

Jesus christ. Maybe an alert to mainstream media channels will get those idiots off their asses. That's pathetic.

Haha, shit. Anyone who writes code that trusts the ANI explicitly should be shot.

Can u let me know on icq how to do it. I would really like to know! thanks

Did you read the thread?:Oh crap

please note this dosnt work if you have the password option set on your vm. also you dont need voip to do it granted thats probably the easiest way. you can do it via a pri circuit into your pbx and have your pbx change the cid. this has been a known issue for years even before voip had become popular. i think cingular dont really give a rats ass.

Wow, not good. Glad I dumped Cingular years ago.

it works by using caller id spoofing... you just dial the number as theirs and if they dont pick up.. boom, your voicemail...

you didn't just discover this lol

jesus christ don't people got better things to do!!:ugone2far

that's why i have 2 phones! happened to me once..

I didn't read it right the first time, I read it but didn't comprehend it. I get it now.
