Cannot change Voicemail Speed Dial number

Hye guys, I've searched everywhere looking for a way to actually change the speed dial number for voicemail.
Currently theres an entry as number 1 as Voicemail but there is no number attached to it. When I try and edit the number I'm not able to add an number, it has a drop down menu but it's blank and I cannot input a number into it.
I tried deleting the speed dial but then I'm unable to add a speed dial to number 1 as its reserved for voicemail...
I checked in Phone -> settings -> services and Voicemail and Text Messages has the right number for voicemail (121)
edit
using Black 2.0 with radio 1.38

thats because it hardcoded into the OS. the only thing you can do is set another speed dail number to your voicemails number and use that but 1 is always for voicemail sorry man

Nope not quite...
You can change it by going to settings-Phone-Services tab. It should be there with the Text MEssages Services Centre number.
I was able to edit mine when I tried YouMail. Not to mention how would these bad ass speedy cooked rom-a-lama-ding-dongs work?

sorry your right forgot about that.

Hmm
Well in phone -> settings -> services -> tect messages and voicemail the right numbers are there but the voicemail just seems to be missing from the phone
I'll give it a hard reset and see how it goes

If there is nothing registered in speed dial position 1 from before, isn't it just to push the square nr. 1 and enter it from there?
edit: that is the square no. 1 in speed dial menu

Calls to this number are bard

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.

Change Registry via Autostart for Voicemail Problem

Hey guys,
I've already searched a lot of stuff in this forum and enjoyed your work - amazing
But I've got following problem:
My Voicemail show's ALWAYS that there are new messages. But I have no Voicemail activated and NO Voicemails.
I got the solution for my problem already, it's to change the registry key with the following Reg file:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\State\Messages\vmail\Line1\Unread]
"Count"=dword:00000000
How can I put that into a batch file on Autostart or something?
Because everytime I softreset - it's deleted - and I got the problem again.
The Autostart on WM 6.5 doesn't handle reg files
It would be nice if you give me some tips for this.
Thanks in advance.
chriZ

I take it this issue happens after a hard reset or rom flash, but entering those reg settings makes it go away? Made a cab to enter your registry settings, hope it works for you. Alternatively you can have Sashimi add registry files automatically. If the problem occurs every time you soft reset I don't know the answer, sorry.

Well - it didn't helped , but thanks for your help...
After installing the symbol for Voicemail is already there.
If I change it manual via Mobile Registry Editor it's fixed directly after synchronizing via Active Sync.
Another possible solution could be, to set the reg worth permanently to zero?! Is this possible?
That would solve the whole problem...

I had this problem too and I've fixed it by leaving a voicemail to myself
and delete it right after that. the 'new voicemail' icon disappeared and the problem
is now solved.
But, i do have a voicemail activated so i don't know if this is the right solution for you.
Maybe you should try enter your phone setting :
Setting -> Personal -> Phone, and then tap the 'Services' tab.
Choose "Voice Mail and Text Messages" and tap 'Get Setting'.
Do you see any number associated under 'Voice Mail' ?
If it does, try to delete it.

Thanks for your tip, but the Voicemail is deactivated by provider and I can't turn it on
I know the number of Voicemail too, but if I dial the number, I can just turn on and off the notification SMS if I missed a call.

Visual Voicemail Problems

Hi all!
This is my 1st Evo post (maybe 1st post period) and Im having trouble with my visual voicemail. I am on the latest firmware, the phone is brand new (got it 2 days ago).
When I open the visual voicemail app, I press menu and click undelivered messages. Sitting in this folder is "[email protected]". Ive tried resending it, no luck. I cant delete it either. I get an error message stating "there is a delay in setting up your voicemail. Your message will be sent as soon as this step is complete." Also, when I hold the 1 key down, it doesnt take me to VM, it just rings and I get an error message. I have to dial my own number to get to my voice messages. What am I doing wrong?
Problem 1: No visual voicemail
Problem 2: Holding 1 key doesnt take me to VM
Thanks in advance for anyones help, it is surely appreciated!
Chris

I forgot to mention, I have full service strength and I can use the internet and get email over the 3g/4g connection.

I called customer service, and they told me to call back on a different line. Wish I had one........

It sounds like there is an issue regarding your profile. You could try updating your profile.
Settings - System Updates - Update Profile
Also update the PRL while you're there.
If that doesn't work and you don't have another phone to call Sprint with, then take it into a store and use their phones to call support, or maybe they can help you there.
Also a suggestion, don't post replies to your topic just edit your existing one. I almost skipped the post because I saw 3 replies, assuming the question was answered.

Will do, headed to a sprint store now.
Thanks for the forum ettiquite info too

here is how your fix this problem...
I just had this and nothing I did or looked up help. got off of the line with Sprint and apparently there is sometimes a "Ghost" number set up on your phone during initiation and if your ported # does not get embedded in the software properly, you are hosed.
here is how you fix it:
- from dialer, dial ##643750#
- a menu will pop up, hit edit mode
- there will be 2 options -- can't remember the names. the top one will be what should be your phone # and the bottom one is a general access # that is *not* your phone #
- on the top entry, click edit and replace the # with your own phone #
- click the menu button on the phone and initiate the change
After I did this, my many test voicemails arrived after about 10 seconds.
Hope this helps --- I was not a member of this forum but registered just to log this fix as it is very frustrating. I hope this saves someone some time and frustration!

1. Sign up for google voice,
2. setup conditional call forwarding on your voicemail
3. enjoy transcribed text and better recording quality

Go to settings in google voice then voice settings you should see your mobile number and a link to enable google voicemail on this phone.
Basically you're going to dial *28XXXXXXXXXX which is your phone number.

I had this exact problem when I ported my old number to my Evo. I went to a Sprint store and they called CS, and I watched the keystrokes the rep did so I'd know what he did. I think the code for this is different for everybody. I just realized today that when CS did this for me, the rep dialed ##xxxxxx# where xxxxxx was actually my MSL code (just looked it up today and it looked familiar, now I know why).
So enter your own MSL and you should get what you need.

[Q] Setting up google voice?

Im just running the stock gs3 rom from tmo.
No luck yet with google voice... the phone keeps reverting back to the default voicemail system.
Seems like tmobile is trying to force me to use their app?

there is an issue w/ the stock rom and GV
you can still get by it, just 'skip' the step to set it up as your provider, complete the rest of the setup, then go into your call settings on your S3 and change the settings accordingly.
step by step instructions:
- pull up the 'phone' app
- hit the menu button in the bottom left
- hit the menu button in the bottom left
- click 'call settings'
- scroll down to and select 'call forwarding'
- click 'voice call'
- then change the three settings 'forward when busy' / 'forward when unanswered' / 'forward when unreachable' all to your GV number (add a +1 before your 10 digit GV number)
fyi: google voice call log will still not show correctly on the stock rom in the phone log. when dialing out it will show the phone number it connected to at google voice.
hope this helps! please hit thanks if it helped!

Your step by step did not help me.
Im not trying to use google voice to make calls, but just change my voicemail provider.
When I did not answer my old phone it would say: this google voice subscriber is not available, etc.
And I would be able to view a voice-to-text version of my voicemails through the google voice app, as well as play them from the app.
Currently im forced to call my voicemail in order to listen to / delete my voicemails...

Log into google voice on your computer.
Go to settings >> phones
Find your phone. Click on the activate link if there is one. If there isn't click deactivate and then reactivate it.
I just went through the same thing the other day and I had to reactivate my phone for google voice. It involves dialing some crazy number from your phone, and basically thats it.

Is there anyway to make it show the number you are actually dialing instead of that stupid access number? That has been driving me crazy since release! There was some $2.00 app in the marketplace that was suppose to fix that,but it didn't and I had my money refunded immediately.
