on mtn.... why do i not get "you have 3 new voicemail messages" sms ?

like i keep forgetting to check for voicemails now, the other day it was like you have 17 new voicemail messages...

Maybe you have to re-set it up. Call you mailbox 100 and go through the setup again....

Quick question for the gurus: are there currently any iPhone firmwares or versions (UK particularly) which are not unlockable to all SA networks?

All firmwares are unlockable now including the future 1.2.0 (version 2)

The future unlock will be called "Pwnage" and released by the real dev team.

yes, but there's iPlus and iLiberty which are equally good if not better.

Unlock your iPhone or iPod Touch easily using iLiberty+ (Windows or Mac)

I think iPlus is the best so far, simply for convenience sakes as it loads up BSD, SSH and vt100 during the unlocking process.

Apparently Apple built in a native screenshot function in the iPhone, but it is not yet activated. Some clever guys figured it out and you can now activate and use it - see http://www.tuaw.com/2008/03/18/ripde...-screen-shots/for more info.

Basically you just hold the home button and flip the mute switch - takes a screenshot and stores it in your camera roll. Some people complain about image quality, but mine shows up perfectly as if I am looking at the original screen.

It works much nicer as the other screenshot apps I have tried :-)

Doesn't work with me What firmware you running?

I am using FW 1.1.4 - I think you have to be 1.1.3 or higher for it to work.
