Kogan Mobile – Enabling iMessage/Facetime
I have been emailed this from a Kogan Mobile User on how to enable iMessage/Facetime. This is needed (at the moment) as the default SMSC will not allow the iMessage activation message to go thru on the iPhone.
1. Disable iMessage under Settings/Messages
2. Dial *#5005*7672# and make a note of what the SMSC is set to at the moment
3. Dial **5005*7672*+61418706700# to set Telstra’s SMSC
4. Dial *#5005*7672# to make sure it changed.
5. Enable iMessage under Settings/Messages
6. Dial **5005*7672*thenumberyouwrotedowninstep2# (or you won’t be able to send)
6. Reboot phone (If needed)
This worked a treat with my new Kogan Sim card on my iPhone 4. Just remember to change it back to +61418706275 otherwise you won’t be able to send SMS (only receive)!
I had the same problem. What you need to do is add the $15 international add on. This allows imessage to verify your address with its servers in the USA. Leave the add on for a month and turn it off when ur done.
whats the code to change it back, its really messed me up. Can you please give me the codes and number. Im a newbie, and cant send texts now.
@ Michael
I worked it out. Thanks guys.

Ensure your number in settings is set to +61 and not 0, this worked for me.
