Hi,
I hope this is the correct section and that someone can help me.
My XDA2 has sudenly decided that I have voice mail. (The utility warehouse provide the SIM, Carrier is currently T-Mobile). I have listened to all the voice mail, it tell me I have no new messages. The XDA2 shows me a notification along the top near the phone signal strength meter. If I click on it, it says I have 1 new message, I click on the Dial button, it phones the voice mail centre. That tells me I have no new messages!
I cancelled the voice mail option via The Utility Warehouse in the hopes that the XDA2 would decide it no longer needed to show me the Voice mail Notification - Guess What, it's still there several days later and obviously I can't phone it up because I have cancelled the option with The Utility Warehouse!
So, my question is:- Is there any way I can tell the XDA2 not to display the Voice mail icon?
Would be nice if I can just delete something or change some setting...
Regards,
John
P.S. I tried going back to a backup I had from before the voice mail icon showed up, but it just appeared because it thinks I have a voice mail, but the mail box is empty!
i have same problem, but my phone it's a prophet, does someone knows if there is a registry hack to avoid the voice mail notification icon?
thanks
Voice Mail Problem
Hi,
All fixed!! It turns out that the voice mail icon is triggered by the mobile phone carrier you use. They have the ability to turn the flag off, which will work if you do not have any un-listened to messages. Then you can cancel the voice mail option with your carrier so that no one can leave you voice mail. This option usually costs you money, as you have to make a phone call to listen to it!
So can in certian circumstances make sense to cancel it, particularly if you generally have your mobile phone on all the time, and it only gets turned off at times when you really can't have anyone phone you! (They can always phone again!)

Hi,
Anyone know if there is a software that can do the answering machin feature. It would be great to be able to have call center feature like :
"if you are a friend press 1 to leave a message"; "if this is urgent press 2"; ......
BR
Isn't this what your phone provider can provide. I.E. Voice Mail. Depending on your provider you can set up various options normally at no extra cost.
Regards
uuh, I like mcdomfr's idea pretty much!
The call centre functionality (press 3 to get redirected to my mum) would certainly rock.
However, there is yet another reason, why I would certainly prefer a software answer machine running on my xda2 over the network's (O2) centrally hosted voice mail service. That is, currently I have to pay (or use minutes) to check / retrieve the voice mails. A software on my XDA2 would have the voice mails locally available. Also, I would than be able to check all the old voice mail from last week while I am in the airplane mode or down in the tube (no network).
Just my 2 cent ;-)
i know that some old sony phone got this answering machin feature. one firend of i did use it when he go abroad wher cost of checking voice mail is high.
On top of this the sony phone did alow him to listen to the voice mail when the caller let a message.
I remember the first time i reach his answering machin phone i was thinking i was on orange, i started to let a long message and then sudentely my friend pick-up the phone in the middle of my voice mail and we did continue the call. I was very surprized by this feature !
just search people
people ask about that ALL the time i did a search for just answering
and there are from the first result page
if you want more search yourself

Hi everyone,
I have just been told that there seems to be something wrong with the HTC TyTn when it comes to receiving voicemail notifications by text on the Vodafone UK network.
Has anyone else come across this and if so, are there any solutions?
We can get notifications through "alert & deliver" as well as the "alert" options, but when we choose "text" notification, nothing comes through to let us know we have a voicemail waiting for us.
Thanks!

you need set up your answer service at vodafone on line. the voicemail number changes to 242 - you get full alerts as normal plus you an download voicemails as wav. files and you get a fax number an its all free!!!!
We are getting SMS alerts but they are damn slow - they come through hours after the voicemail is left.

Same problem for me - no text alert of voicemail. However, registering for Vodafone's 242 service via www.vodafone.net fixes it - pretty much instant text alert of voicemail, plus some other also free services that I have yet to explore.
What I find difficult is that VF itself seems to have no corporate memory for this and other Hermes/1605 problems. I wasted hours talking to customer services while assorted agents made me repeat the lack of Internet browsing problem that I experienced when I first got the phone, only to discover - thanks to this forum - that VF is peddling an incorrect setup sequence, using the word Intranet when it should be Internet.
The lack of text alert for voicemail has meant yet more time with customer services and has again exposed VF's inability to remember a practical work-around.
It is not very impressive.

I didn't see this here, so here you go.

This is BAD ASS! And it's FREE!
You install a Firefox Widget if you're a PC user. Mac's have a similar tool. Put in your cell phone number. It intercepts your incoming calls and will send you a message for missed calls or voice mail (their voicemail system, not yours) It defaults to text message to your phone but you can easily set it up to send email to your push server. Then call yourself from your PDA and setup your voicemail message. (btw, this isn't a redirector using your PC, you just setup the service with your PC)
I turned my phone off and called it. Went straight to voice mail but I hung up before the message finished without leaving a message. Upon bootup my Wizard got an email (from my Exchange 2003 server) that said I missed a call from so and so (Had the name and number!!)
Then I left a voicemail and instantly got an email with the voicemail as a wav attachment!
I'm stoked! Screw missed call syndrone!

No, but I think we are all a little "torked" about the ROM thing, and then all the requests for links, and all the requests for "how do I flash my phone"...sigh.
Good find.

We All Know About Voice Mail. But it costs some money and is directed to us via our Subscriber. I was wondering if there is some software which automatically picks up the phone call and says "I am away, leave the message" and save it on my phone. Later on i read em?

Install youmail and go to youmail.com and sign up it is free to use with certain options I have been using it since the blackberry days it automatically downloads new messages and you can play them back w/o having to do ne thing but click on it. if it is just a hang up you still get notification from them showing who called so even when you are with no signal and no message is left you will no who called you.
Surely if a call gets directed to voicemail its because the phone is out-of-signal range, in which case the phone can't answer it to record the message?
I am using google voice as primary voice mail and i think because of this every time i try to reject the call i have to do it twice (Hit decline and after 5 seconds the phone rings again and decline again) only then it goes to voice mail.
My question is there anything i can do to fix this and just send the caller to voice mail.
Do you have the feature to screen calls going to voicemail? If I'm following you, then what I did was to turn that feature off in gv settings on the computer. There might have been another setting on the computer to do but I don't remember. This way, I think if you reject the calls, they go to vm. If you go into the log screen of activity in gv on the computer, you can look up the number that called you and there should be a more link just below it. I know one off the settings is block, there might be a setting to go directly to voice mail.
There also might be a setting on the phone in the contact list and under that number if you saved it. There might be a choice to send it directly to vm in it's contact info. Just poke around. Knowing me, this probably isn't what you were looking to do.
And yeah, gv instructions for setup and explaining features had much to be desired at times, aggravating at others.
I have the same problem, even with screen calls turned off. The phone rings and I decline, then it rings again. If I pick up the second time, it's not the person, it's an automated system asking if I want to send them to voicemail. I assume that I can listen to the voicemail, but I'm not interested in that.
I just upgraded from the Hero with the same set up and I did not have this problem with Google Voice. Have you guys figured anything out? When I turned off the Google Voice voicemail the issue went away, but I'm hooked on the transcription function of Voice.
Thanks!
