The answer is probably yes. To get into a voicemail, two regular landline phones were used. The first dials the target mobile number and then the second dials the same number.
The first telephone ensures that the line is engaged and that the second phone will be put automatically through to voicemail, the hacker then simply dialled in the four figure code, using in some cases a tone generator that randomly at high speed generated the right sequence of tones to unlock the voicemail.
So if you don't want your secrets plastered all over the media, the answer is simple. Change your four digit ie number code as often as you change your shirt/blouse... that also goes for credit card pins as well!
