Setting the voicemail number to use with Speeddial #1

How can I set the voicemailnumber in a way it will be used by the Speeddial '1' key.
I allready tried via tools/options/services/Voice Mail and SMS
And that did not work.
Any help greatly appreciated

Found it.
using a Registry Editor change the value of key
HKEY_Current_User/Software/Microsoft/Vmail/Phonenumber1 to the numer to be dialed
I have no idea what the key .../Phonenumber2 is for . . .

For SMS center?

mmm, maybe.
But (different from the voicemail number) the sms-center number is defined on my SIM.
Besides that I was able to update the sms-center number via the phone/tools/options/services menu.

Go into Phone setting, services tab, voice mail & SMS and then tap get... it will read your network definitions.
Then in the voice mail box, type the number you dial for your voice mail and OK.

Excellent tip Amir77a - thanks.

Nice tip Amir.
That tip i Figured out myself.
Unfortunately it does not always work.
Maybe its my SIM or something else, but I cant set the number via the menu's ("unable to update setting to network"...)
So in my case the registry trick did it.

Probably it depends on your SIM.
Good you solve it anyway.

this is normal as some operators set one number for the voice mail box itself which missed calls should be routed to, and other number for retrieving the the voice mail.

Ringtone Length

I've had a quick search for this but can't find it and its probably something blindingly obvious, but how can you change the length of time the phone rings for before cutting out to voicemail?
Thanks in advance Carl

that depends on your carrier & how many rings/seconds it takes before the VM picks up. for example, Sprint is 20 seconds from first ring to VM - unfortunately on Sprint's network there is no way to change the time from 20 seconds more or less - i think some other carriers allow you to change that option - you can always call your carrier to find out or call your cell & time it to find out how long it takes before VM picks up - then you would know how long to make your ingers if you happen to make your own.
Hope that helps

I found a registry setting for WM Standard once that allowed me to increase my ring time from about 4 rings to about 5 (from about 20 seconds to about 30). It wouldn't ring any longer than that no matter how many seconds I set it to ring, but it was something.
That was for a smartphone, but it seems to me a similar setting ought to be found in WM Pro's registry...
Too bad I can't remember what it was (that was 3 phones ago!).

You can change it by:
Start --> Settings --> Phone --> Services
choose option Call Forwarding --> Get settings
Now it will display the settings for forwarding calls. Here you can also change the seconds before getting voicemail(max 30 seconds if supported by your operator).

I dont have the option of "Call Forwarding " how can i get it ????

bump . . . . .

Thanks Caspertje Its been bugging me for about 6 mounths and it was in my face all the time god I fill silly.

no matter what you do with the phone settings this is controlled by your service provider.
Most phone providers world wide only allow for a maximum of 30 seconds ring time. this is done because they dont want to the available lines tied up that are ringing for extended periods.

What's the best way to go about using SIP/Voip on my HD2?

Hi all,
So I'm picking my HD2 up for my birthday next week and have already done a ton of homework (aka reading of the Leo forums here at xda) on the device but have a question...
I have a voipcheap.com account to make free/cheap international phonecalls from my computer. I assume it's viable to use SIP/this service on my HD2 (I've tried on old handsets with varying results, which seem to come down to the hardware being rubbish)
What's everyone using to make calls via their internet calling accounts, and have you successfully used the 'audio routing' tweak to route calls to the normal ear speaker?
Thanks

Mr Baig
I think the best way to go about SIP is using softwares like Fring or Nimbuz

lowcaller
Hi!
VoIPcheap.com is just another phone service offered by Betamax. For a full list, see this page: http://backsla.sh/betamax
For all the Betamax brands, there's a great way of doing VoIP calls from a WinMo phone: go to http://www.lowcaller.com/en/index.php , choose your service (voipcheap.com in your case) and download the cab for your phone (yes, there IS a version for the HTC Leo). Once you download it, it will create an icon on the start menu. Select it, input your voipcheap id and password and your mobile number and UNCHECK the "auto lowcall" (or whatever it is called) option. Tap on "Save".
From this point on, you won't need the lowcaller icon anymore.
To make a call, go to your contact, tap on Menu=>See more information, then Menu => [scroll the menu down] and you will see the Lowcaller options.
I've been using lowcaller for a while now, and it works very well.
Hope this helps...

Fantastic - sounds like this would do the job!
1 week 'til I've got my HD2 and I'll post back here with my results.

Just reporting back to say that lowcall appears to do the job perfectly (just made the 1 call right now, in a dodgy 3g area!)
Many thanks to ccristal for the tip-off, more people need to know about this little cab for sure.
Now for another question (sorry!) - is there anything that exists which takes advantage of the SMS service in Betamax clients like Voipcheap.com? I use the text service occasionally to text internationally so it'd be great if I could access this on my phone.
Trust the xda-devs to be on the case!

Actually, you can send sms using lowcaller itself. If you select a contact from the WM contact list (not the Manila one) and you open the menu, you will find a menu item to send a sms to that contact using lowcaller.

It's important to point out, however, that the call is not a full VoIP call. When you use lowcaller, you actually call an access number in London, and it's only from that point on that the call is forwarded using VoIP. Here's how I think it works under the cover:
there are 3 numbers in the game here: your number, your contact's number and the lowcaller access number.
you select a contact in your list and call it using lowcaller;
a data connection is opened, and your own number and your contact's number are sent to the lowcaller server;
the lowcaller server associates the two numbers with an access number taken from a pool, and it returns the access number to the lowcaller client running on your phone;
the lowcaller client dials the access number;
the software running on the server identifies your number and the access number you are calling and retrieves your contact's target number from the mapping established at step 3, after which connects the call.
This has an interesting side effect: after the first call to a given contact, you can associate the access number that lowcaller actually called with the contact as if it were your contact's own number. From that point on, every time you dial the same access number, you will actually call your contact, without a data connection being opened at all, since the mapping between your number and the contact's number is already stored in the table for that access number.
Not sure if I've been clear enough... but please do feel free to come back to me for any additional question you may have.

do you have to associate the access number that lowcaller called to your contact or is it an option?

No, you don't have to. If you don't, every time you call the same contact a new data connection will be opened, and a different access number may potentially be chosen. However, if you do associate it, you won't need to go to the WM contact page to get to the lowcaller menu, since the number will be visible from Manila and can even be saved as a shortcut.

You need to set this on provider level. Since I can't see from which country you are I can't help you directly. Get in touch with your provider. They can tell you the settings you need to make on their server.

i dunno if this is the one for stock, but it's in the call settings,
you need to contact your carrier since they might have a different setup for CF
