Recovering old Voice Mail Messages.

My wife recently reset her iPhone 4 and lost all of her saved voice mail messages. She was able to retrieve messages from the past month. Though she really wants to recover some messages that were up to a year old. These messages were from her mother who passed away in the end for December. Does anyone have a suggestion on how these can be recovered?


Thanks

Usually, Voicemail messages are held in the phone company servers and these messages expire after a certain period of time (usually 14 days with AT&T). These "expired" messages are deleted automatically from the servers at the phone company and they cannot be recovered. The iPhone itself cannot save this messages on its internal memory.


Hope this helps.
