[HOW-TO] Pulling off Your Voicemails Onto Your Computer

**hospadam** · 07-22-2007, 10:19 AM

Hey Everyone.

I'm not sure if this is the right forum (or if this has been posted before), but here goes:

Well, sometimes I get a voicemail that I'd really like to keep. It's not always good enough to have it on your phone, or their servers. Sometimes I wish I could have it backed up on my computer, to send around to people

. Well, with Jailbreak/Iphoneinterface, now you can.

I'm assuming you have jailbreaked your phone, and youc an use iphoneinterface.

Navigate to /var/root/Library/Voicemail ---

You should see numbered files (1.amr,2.amr...etc) for as many voicemails you have. And then you should also see Greeting.amr.

If you getfile on any of those, you can pull it off. AMR files are playable in Quicktime, and then you can export it to a more reasonable file type. I'm thinking of trying to replace my Greeting.amr with a higher quality, and seeing if that works.

Hope you all enjoy.

Too bad I cant use the drag & drop program to do this *sigh* My only option there is delete

**themantis16** · 07-27-2007, 02:54 AM

I cant seem to figure out how to do it. So once in iphoneinterface, all I need to do is enter "/var/root/Library/Voicemail"? Any help would be appreciated.

**Kyle Matthews** · 07-27-2007, 12:22 PM

No, you need to enter cd /var/root/Library/Voicemail.

Then do an ls to see whats in there.

Then do a getfile yourfilename.amr to get the files you want.

Thank you so much for your help, it worked!

i posted this in the discussion portion of the guide, but now that I see there is a thread on the subject, and seeing as to how there was not any previous post to mine in that section of this site, I think I'm better off posting it here... (sorry for the extended foreward)...

hello all,
newbie here and happy to have found you

will this work with 1.1.1? I want to install jailbreak and the other app, but I am afraid of bricking my phone. I want to get the messages off the visual voicemail into my mac, thanks in advance.

**mikerzt** · 10-04-2007, 11:56 PM

is it possible to change the greeting on the voicemail? or do i have to do this through the voicemail inbox setup?

**trancemode** · 10-07-2007, 04:52 AM

When I navigate to var/root/library/voicemail all I see is "Voicemail.db" I have a few Voice mail that I want to save, but it's not showing up in the files as an AMR file... I just have 1 file that Voicemail.db, what is going on?
