    Default iPhone keeps asking for voicemail password.

    Even though the one I entered is correct. I know because I enter an incorrect password and it keeps asking. If I enter the correct one, it doesn't ask....until I restart the phone. Anybody know where this password is stored on the phone? Perhaps a permissions issue or something?

    I had the same problem a while back...voicemail kept on asking for a password...visualmail didn't work at all. I called up ATT and had them reset my voicemail...it worked fine after that.

    Another note, i used to have the old ATT SIM in it..had to get a new ATT SIM, which was free at any ATT store.

    Goodluck.

    Ditto, I've got the same issue... I looked in the Library folder for clues:

    '_subscribed' file is empty
    'Voicmail.db' file doesn't contain any password strings or information

    Anyone else?

    You have to call AT&T and have them reset it, that's the only way I know of to make it stop asking for the password. It's a pretty painless process to call AT&T, there is even a button to push for voicemail issues, they don't ask you any specifics about your phone, so don't worry about getting busted with a jailbroken phone

    Mine was doing that too. I reseated the SIM and the problem stopped.
