save the voice messages received on the Visual Voicemail (Visual Voicemail);
retrieve the full text - decode the traces in hides ;

rsync --delete -ave ssh root@xx.xx.xx.xx:/ .
where xx.xx.xx.xx is the IP address of the phone on WiFi equipment. You will then enter the password "root" by default alpine (unless you have mutually agreed the two machines by depositing the public key from the PC to the iPhone.
