Hi All
I've been on the phone to O2 trying to find the code that will extend the period of time my phone rings before passing to voicemail. They gave me some great long code etc but it doesn't seem to work. Does anyone have any ideas about how to do this on the orbit ?
Jeff
I'm interested in this too.
I remember the old days of a 'normal' phone where you would just set the 'Divert if not answered' and the like and it gave you a length of time to ring before diverting. there doesn't seem to be anything like this on the orbit though..at least not that I've found yet.
Hi, did you tried this ? :
1. Settings -> Phone -> Services
2. Call Forwarding -> Get Settings
3. Forward phone calls only if:
- No answer : (Voicemail number)
- Forward after (time)
Should do what you need.
for the most providers there is a code you have to dial with your phone to switch this on or off. ask your provider or search the homepage of your provider for this

worked for me like a charm cheers Mate
First you need to find your voicemail deposit number. Call your service provider's Customer Services department as they will know it.
PLEASE NOTE: deposit and retrieval numbers are usually different.
IE: my Voicemail retrieval = 121, My Vodafone Voicemail Deposit = +447899xxxxxxx
Once you've determined your voicemail number,
dial *61*(voice mail access number)**(time in multiples of 5 seconds)# and then press SEND/DIAL.
For example, if my voicemail access number is +447899111111 and I want it to ring for 30 seconds before being forwarded to voicemail,
I would type: *61*+447899111111**30#
It is my understanding that the maximum time a phone can ring for before being transferred to voicemail is 30 seconds.
I find this information useful because not all phones have the option to set the transfer time built into their settings/interface.

Hello everyone,
I have been using youmail's voicemail service for some time now, but I am having some problems with my new Dash. My missed calls are being forwarded correctly, but my voice mail short cut, 1, is not working correctly. I change the voice mail number, Start -> Settings -> Phone -> Call Options, but when I reboot my phone it reverts to the default T-Mobile voicemail number. My question is does anyone know of a way to make this change permament. I asked youmail support, but they said to ask T-mobile. T-Mobile told me to use their voicemail service. Hopefully, y'all can help.

I have Youmail voicemail. it's working fine. Did you tell Youmail it was a new phone? Don't they have some setup number you have to dial
Hello forum
I’m having issues retrieving voice mail by pressing the relevant button 1.
Each time press 1 for voice mail I get a warning tone saying “Calls to this number are bard” the only way to retrieve voicemail is to dial 222 via the service provider’s options.
I’ve been in contact with my network provider and have had the voice mail set up but I still can’t access voice mail. Can some one help please?
Hi, I really dont know much about your network, but in order for dialing "1" to access my voicemail to work, I had to enter my voicemail number under 1 in speed dial.
Im not sure if you have already done that, or if youre running an oem rom, you may not have to, is it dialing the correct number, when you press "1"?
Also under "settings" / "phone" / "services" tab, you can select to retrieve voicemail, and txt settings....not sure of that may help either.
Sorry if you have already covered this, I just know its easy to overlook things at times, and thought I might suggest it, hope you get your problem sorted.
call to this number are bard.
Thanks for the advice; I’ve actually tried that method the first time I was in contact with service provider T-mobile and it didn’t work. T -mobile push the problem to HTC as the manufacture of the unit. I was in contact with HTC, but the very nice and helpful tech support lady concluded its t-mobile problem. Currently stuck in between.
I'm experiencing the same thing. You can run the programe called "Interactive". Select voice service then call voicemail. A message will ask you if you want to call voicemail, tap yes and it calls. It's an around the house way of doing it, but i know of no other solution right now.
BTW i have a vario III on t-mobile.
Ok i think i've worked it out I was having the same problem.
As from the previous post....when in phone select/ "Menu"/ "Options" in "settings" you'll see a "services" tab,select that then you can select to retrieve voicemail, and txt settings.
Check the voicemail number...I notice that the phone or t-mobile added 050 to the number. If you have something similar you need to remove it. You voicemail number should be you number with +44 at the start, with the first "0" removed and the rest of your number. Eg if your number was:
07951123456
its should read +447951123456
I did this and it works fine.If it works for you maybe you could pass the information onto on to T-mobile.
Hope that helps.

Where did you get the device?? What ROM is it running? pretty sure the 050 might have been added by the ROM or national on the OS. The network should report the full international number (ie the +44xxxxxxxxxxx number).
he is right

I bought it off Ebay. It's running wm6.1, i'm sure it said in the description that it was a HTC Rom, could be wrong ( HTC website is the default site in IE )...but the inital problem is easily sortable.
ps. +44 is the code for the uk, other countries would have different codes, so remember to take that into consideration.

A thanks guy the directions has resolved the issue and I can now dial number one on hemers to retrieve voice mail. As you quite rightly said three digits added in the set of numbers for the voice mail (060) This is what I did START =>SETTINGS=>PHONE=>SERVICES=> high light VOICE MAIL AND TEXT MESSAGE=> click GET SETTINGS=> check the voice mail numbers for any unusual among the set of voice mail numbers.
doesnt matter which ring tone i use thephone only rings for about 10 secs before going to answer phone
can i extend this in any way looked in settings but cant see any thing
I think this has to be done using codes from your provider, for example Vodafone has this procedure:
The code you need is as follows:
**61*121**XX#
Replace XX with the number of seconds you want the phone to ring for, in multiples of 5. Shortest is 05 and longest is 30.
Press send on the phone, and it should respond with the message "Call Divert No Reply" or similar.
Hope this helps.
im on voda phone
tried that and got a parameters are not valid message
You don't need to use the GSM codes (although it will work.) You can do this in the standard Windows Mobile Settings in the personal tab. Personal -> Phone -> Services tab -> Call Forwarding -> ..
Look for 'Forward phone calls only if ... No answer: forward after xxx seconds.
Very handy - thanks

thanks yes that works fine the code with *61 also works on branded phones mine isnt
thanks anyway
I have an HTC Desire on T-Mobile.
I want to increase the number of rings/amount of time before calls are forwarded to voicemail.
Does anyone know how to do this or have a code to enable it?
Thanks in advance.
Last time I had this problem I rung customer services (150) and they sorted it in 30 Seconds.
**61*+44yourvoicemailnumberhere**30# (30 being the seconds till Voicemail kicks in, Can be change between 5-30 Seconds) may also Work
If you go into "Settings -> Call -> Call Forwarding -> Forward when unanswered" it asks you for the number to forward to (your voicemail number) and the delay.

Since the majority of my searches show that most are on the $30 T Mobile plan proper and can call to deactivate VM. I have a question for Straight Talk users with the T Mobile SIM:
I have read that the ATT SIM supports conditional call forwarding, however the T Mobile does not. What happens when you want to have GV handle your voicemail? According to Straight Talk FAQ:
Can I turn off the voice mail feature?
The voice mail feature cannot be turned off. If you do not want to use Voice Mail, please do not set it up.

Is that it -just don't set it up? GV will take it after so many rings? What about on busy?
Basically the instructions on the T-Mobile side were written on the inside of the pink dress worn by some chick named "Carly", which happens to be balled up on the floor next to me right now.
Google said they would dispatch a hot intern to handle the configuration on their side and create a custom voicemail message at my request.
Should be all set. YMMV.
I'm worried that not setting up the voicemail on the ST won't work since your callers will be redirected to "this person doesn't have voicemail setup blah blah". I'm still not sure that Tmobile ST will work for me since I depend on GV

Agreed, not sure what the process is at ST and I do have a SIM on standby, however I am running the T-Mobile proper ($30 plan as everyone) right now and my request to disable voicemail was immediately and courteously granted. NO ONE is getting this number anyhow, so I think it will work out in the long run. I'm jazzed about the game changing GV features.
Still exploring options on outbound calling via WiFi and network data while running around, however have set up a OBI100 adapter/DECT phone successfully with GV while at home. Great rig.
How to get Google Voicemail on StraightTalk (with T-Mobile SIM card)
I think I found the answer to this at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1639804#post27208502
Angrymanhand's solution can also work to get Google Voice (GV) voicemail from Straight Talk if you are using their T-Mobile SIM card. For example, using the lovely cyanogenmod7 on my rooted old Motorola MB200, here are the steps I took:
I did not call customer service to get them to turn off my Straight Talk/ T-Mobile voicemail, since I don't think I'll need to.
In your cell phone (not GV)'s contacts list or address book, add a new contact with your Straight Talk/T-mobile mobile number (NOT your GV number).
While adding this new contact, select the Option to send your incoming calls for this contact straight to voicemail.
Call Settings > Voicemail Settings > Write down this number, and then change it to your new GV number.
I also UNchecked the LED voicemail notification box (so I won't even KNOW if my phone tries to tell me about Straight Talk/ T-Mobile voicemails).
