So after I unlocked my phone I noticed I'd get calls from people and they would never leave a voicemail. I thought nothing over it after first until someone who contacted me said the voicemail did not display my number. I called my voicemail today and noticed that the voicemail linked to my phone is from the previous user who had the phone. How do I get my voicemail to display, well, my actual voicemail? Do I just somehow need to get a hold of my voicemail number and input it into the phone? Also if so, how would I go about finding my voicemail number?

Is there a way to have the numeric keypad show up during all phone calls? right now it only shows up when i call voice mail. I know I can hit the "keypad button" to have it come up, but this is a step I'd rather not have to take. I do a lot of conference calls from my phone and having the number pad would be far more convenient than the 6 options that I have showing now. My guess was that somehow the phone knows when i am calling voicemail and that's why it keeps the numbers showing...i was hoping there was a way to trick the phone into thinking that all of my calls were to voicemail...
anybody have a clue?
Thanks,
Jason
I can get the notification to go away if I call my voicemail, but it always comes back after a reset. I have absolutely no voicemails in my box, and I have tried the deleting the voicemail method.
Thanks for the help, it gets pretty annoying to call voicemail every time I restart.
Anybody got a fix? Haha thanks.
I keep on missing the call because of the ring being to short! I found this article.
If your phone is sending calls to voicemail before you can get to it, you can actually adjust how long it rings before going to voicemail. Here's how to do it.
AT&T and T-Mobile both use the same method, which lets you change the number of rings right from your phone. To do it:
Dial *#61# from your phone. Tap Send.
You should see a new screen that displays a bunch of information about what's getting forwarded. You should see a line under "Voice Call Forwarding" that says "Forwards to +11234567890" (where 11234567890 is an eleven digit phone number, likely different from your phone number). Write down this number and tap Dismiss.
Now, dial **61*+11234567890*11*XX# and hit Send, where 11234567890 is the number that you found in step two and XX is the number of seconds you want to wait until voicemail picks up. You can set it in increments of 5, where 30 seconds is the maximum.
After you hang up that call, you can have someone call your phone and see if it worked. On some phones, you can dial *#61# again and see how long it's delaying your calls, but our test phone (the iPhone) did not show this information.
Alternatively, you should be able to call AT&T or T-Mobile customer service and have them change it from their end, if you're uncomfortable doing it yourself.

Whenever I get a call from someone, it will literally ring forever and voicemail never picks up. The only way I will get a voicemail is if I intentionally ignore their call by swiping the red bar. Is there any way to get this working with the 935F on at&t?
I recently disabled voicemail on my TMobile phone because I found out the hard way that Tmobile charges for voicemails that you receive while on international roaming, even if you don't pick up the phone.
The only problem now is that my phone will ring forever because there's no voicemail to forward to, unless I manually decline every call.
Is there a way to have the phone automatically do this after a certain amount of rings?
