Another was some networks had a voicemail number you could dial into from abroad and then enter the phone number and pin of the voicemail box you wanted to access. Before this scandal nobody has ever changed that pin, or known about it, in the entire history of british telephony.
- d1sxeyes 3y agoYeah this was a big one. You’d get a mobile phone with voicemail enabled, and you could call 123 from your phone to collect your voicemails without a PIN. You could also call something like 07700007123 and then it would ask you to type your phone number and remote access PIN. Almost nobody knew that you could do that, and so almost nobody changed their remote access PIN from the default 1111 or 1234 or 0000.
