Question: WM6 have issue dialing long numbers?

I don't know if this is a known problem, but I'll post it for everyone.
With T-Mobile UK, their voicemail number (when you press "1") consist of 15 digits, with the last 10 digit being your mobile number.
For example:
- Your number is 079 0123 4567
- T-Mobile UK VM: +44 012 79 0123 4567
So when you press "1", the device will show that it's dialing +440127901234567.
Now note the "0" above, in red font. I have 2 8525, one running WM5 and the other WM6. When I dial the VM, this is what happened:
- WM5: +440127901234567
- WM6: +44127901234567
For some reason, WM6 ALWAYS dropped the number 0 between +44 and 12, even if I dial the number above one by one using the keypad (not pressing and holding keypad "1" for VM). This cause the connection to the VM system to fail, because T-Mobile doesn't recognise the number since it is now only 14 digits instead of 15 digits.
I tried the following:
- Swapped SIM card
- Changed "Area Code" under "Contacts" (put blank, put city code, etc.)
- Checked if any PIM application (Pocket Informant) is forcing some sort area code setting
But nothing worked. ONLY with WM6 that the number "0" from the above is dropped, no matter what I do.
If you with T-Mobile UK or have to dial 15 digits number with your provider for VM or even making other calls, please let me know if you have similar issue.
The problem I am having now is making my phone useless because I cannot check my voicemail at all.

Anyone with T-Mobile UK using WM6?

I'm using WM6 with T-Mobile UK. The voicemail number I'm using is +447987627762. Which has nothing with my mobile number. Try that...

I have 3 SIM cards:
2 - PAYG (both on the TyTn)
1 - Pay Monthly (on the MDA Compact III)
If I use the number you gave, the error message ("The number to this call has been barred") also applies to ALL SIM card.
If I use the one that came from the SIM card, the error ONLY appear in the device that have WM6. I tried all SIM card on the WM6 device and the same error message appear, but not on the WM5 devices.

I have installed different kinds of WM6 ROMS (LSWV, Black, XDA) and tried this with 3 different TyTn and 3 different SIM card. Same problem.
I think I can safely say that if you use T-Mobile UK, do not upgrade to WM6 otherwise you can NOT check your voicemail.

Look at my post below. Previous idea not worth trying.

I have another idea! Try this
+4400127901234567 ADD an extra 0. I tried calling this number +440127901234567 and my phone would show +44127901234567 but when I put an extra 0 my phone showed this +440127901234567 and that is the number you want. Hope this solves it??

ANY LUCK with adding a extra ZERO to your VM number?

Yes, this works
Just add the extra zero to the number (after the +44) and it works a treat!
Cheers!
Smiffy.

Dude... you ROCK! It works!!

Post upgrade question - phone number format in called id

Hello,
I have recently upgraded my JasJam from my cellular carrier's WM5 ROM to Schap's 4.20 WM6 Rom. Everything is good, however there's one annoying issue with the way that phone numbers are displayed in caller id.
The problem in Israel is that land lines have a two digit area code and cellular numbers have three digit area code. Is there a way to change the way that phone numbers are displayed in caller id? Basically, I would like to remove the parenthesis and the spaces and see the number in one string.
Thanks!

I have a similar problem. costa rica has 8 digit ph numbers with no area codes. so I get 3 digits in bracket followed by 3 more #'s - 2 numbers. very confusing. any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe

have you tried changing your regional settings?

Yes I did. No luck.
Anyone else? I'm sure there's a ph format somewhere, registry edit maybe?

I've got the same problem, what key did you change?

Nevermind, called & left a new voicemail, then deleted it. Symbol gone.

voicemail acess on Orbit _Vigin sim

Hi all
hope this is the right place!!
my phone is an Orbit XDA original WM6-O2
I have just started to use a Virgin sim card on my orbit.
Have managed to set up voicemail - but am having problems accessing the voicemail number
the idea is, you dial 222 and set up the voicemail - from that point on you then just press and hold 1 and then go straight to voicemail. However, when I try this it just dials 222 again and goes to the set up again.
I have managed to access the correct voicemail number by dialing *#67# -( it sends you the voicemail number as a text)and have then put this number manually into the voicemail contact.
this is where i get a problem... when i access the voicemail number or even try to dial it manually, it comes back with someone saying "calls to this number are barred"
I have done all of this with another virgin sim in a sony-erriccson phone and it worked correctly - even if i try that sim in my orbit, the same thing happens... someone saying "calls to this number are barred"
I wonder if this has something to do with my orbit settings? It is loaded with the original WM6 rom from O2
any help would be much appreciated
tech support from virgin are "getting back to me" in the next few days... but I was hoping that someone on here may have some solutions etc
many thanks
tony

There's always the option of calling your service provider for it and then save it in your phone.

Thanks
Thanks Gmaniac. I know my voicemail number...I just can't find where this setting is on the setting or on the rom or in the phone book, etc.

Isn't that on your sim card stored...what carrier do you have?. In my country bruv...that # comes prestored in your sim card...

I dont know where it is stored, but to change it do the following:
1) Go TO settings
2) Go TO Phone
3) Go TO Call Forwarding
For each category there, click it and tell it what you want it to do, and put in the number...that should do it

Than\ks but...
More specifically here's my problem... when I flip to voicemail on the home screen it dials a number that I can't seem to delete. I have edited all the settings \under settings->phone->etc, but I can't seem to find the setting for this number. Any ideas?
