I went into the phone and it auto set up the voicemail speed dial to my own number. The problem is that it gives me a busy signal. If I call from another phone it won't go through to voicemail.
Any ideas?
This sounds more like a carrier issue.
Try contacting them instead.

I am in the USA (NYC), using Cingular. When I let my Tytn use the UMTS bands, I get the following message from Cingular when I call my own cell phone number (or hold down '1' to call voice mail):
"The number you dialed is not a working number."
I can send and recieve other calls, sms, etc... Once I set the band to use GSM only, calling my number correctly brings me to voice mail.
My SIM card is a 64k 3G card.
Any clue what the problem is?
Thanks!

Have you programmed Speed Dialing to 1? In order to call to your voice mail (Cingular) you have to program your phone to dial +1 (806) 252 9009 when you press 1. YOu can program it by opening PhonePad ->Menu->Speeddial. I hope it'll help
caller id doesn't work
I changed the VM as you suggested. Interestingly, it doesn't recognize that I am calling from my cell phone, and asks me for my 10-digit phone number. I have now confirmed this happens either in GSM or UTMS Mode. Is that the normal behaviour? The VM feature works when calling the cell number from the cell phone (in GSM mode).
When I called home from my cell phone the caller ID was properly displayed. IE: that information is properly being sent. but I think the problem is internal to Cingular services.
Thanks,

The T-mobile tab will allow you to use voice +EDGE or 3g/H data (US version, some report complete functionality in China and Isreal). The current work-around is the Roto Modem Switcher solution (brilliant!)
If you stay on the 3g/H modem, some have suggested google voice, voip, etc.
What can you do if using a voip service so someone receiving a call can see your cell number? What are your solutions so you don't have to reflash your tab, or switch sim cards between phone and tab?
I tried the skype app from the market, but no-go. Skype uses wifi in the US.
Fring works, but your caller won't see your number. They see 111 as your caller id, so they can't call back.
Google voice shows your google number not your cell number.
ooVoo wasn't any better.
What add on service will show your cell number, and allow people to return the call? And do this on 3g/h?

here's the file
Thank you. I will get after this and let you know how it works. I found something else in the market called Vopium. It works pretty good.
Something good to know..but this option is to get a new mobile number so not sure if you want to do so

I've flashed the Verizon version of Echoe ROM on my Sprint Galaxy S4. After going in and changing the APN and updating the MMS info everything seems to work with the exception of voicemail. Verizon's voicemail tries dialing in and gives an error. I loaded the apk for Sprint's voicemail, but messages aren't showing up. I was wondering if anybody else has run into this problem and come up with a solution?

If you press and hold "1" on your keypad it should call your voicemail. I am also running a Verizon ROM on a Sprint phone and that's the only way I have been able to check voicemail.
I own a SM-G935V that I'm using with Tracfone. It's running 7.0/Nougat, patch level 4/1/2017. On another forum, here's what I wrote:
I've run multiple tests on this and it turns out that if I reboot my phone, I do not get reconnected to cell service unless I make an outgoing telephone call.
The reason why I didn't notice this is because I use Google Voice for about 99% of my SMS communication. So here's the test I ran:
1. Reboot phone, wait until it comes back online and I have bars and 4G on my status bar
2. Call my phone from another phone -- goes straight to voicemail
3. Send SMS via phone's SMS -- goes to pending and is never sent
4. Make an outgoing phone call not using Google Voice but my cell network resolves the issue
I've changed the network from Global to LTE/CDMA, but it makes no difference. I've also turned off the wifi and tried to see if I would be denied for data access, but that is not so -- I can visit websites without any issue. But doing that DOES NOT reconnect me to my cell network. So it seems that since I'm using 4G/LTE for data, that authentication is separate from the cell authentication.
I got a response from another user that's experienced the same issue. He said he had no problems with Verizon prepaid SIM but the same exact thing with a Tracfone Verizon-piggybacked SIM. His solution was to push an unbranded firmware on it.
I'd rather not go this route if I can help it since the phone works well and this is the only issue I've encountered. Any suggestions?
Hey guys! I'm hoping someone here can help me. I just recently got a Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus (Verizon) and it will only connect to 4G LTE (data only) I can't access my SIM card's phone number or messaging services. Which is kind of fine because I use Google Voice for my calls and messages, but my banking app won't use my GV number for verification reasons and fraud alerts.
I'm on Straight Talk Verizon towers, and the phone will only connect to data. I can't use the phone number that is assigned to me through S.T. which normally I wouldn't care because like I said I use Google Voice for everything. But my banking app will not recognize my Google Voice number to verify things, so that's what I use the number assigned to me from Straight Talk for. This phone has had all kinds of connectivity issues since I got it.
It says "searching for service" while connected to 4G LTE. All I get is data. No phone calls or text messages from the number assigned to me through Straight Talk. If I pop my SIM card into a different phone, I don't have these issues. I can access that phone number, calls & messaging as well.
I'm hoping someone here can help me.
Thank You!
