hi guys
I have an unlocked HTC S620 and I would like to know how to get the voicemail to work with T-Mobile. I have been sent the settings and the phone is upgraded to WM6.1 but also T-Mobile recognises my phone as an MDA Mail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What do you mean 'working' dialing 123 on the T-Mobile will connect you to T-Mobiles voice mail. If you want the phone to auto dial voice mail when you long press number 1 you need to edit shortcut for key 1 if you want T-Mobile to alert you upon a new voice mail you need to call T-Mobile and enter in the information they give you. The voice mail alert is simply a text message trigger that you actually never see... as long as you have the correct text message service center number entered in your phone settings you should be good.

Okay, so T-Mobile USA "upgraded" their voicemail system yesterday. Aside from having to auto-enroll 5 times so far and create new passwords, the biggest change is that they no longer send a text message to notify of a new voicemail. On most handsets from other manufacturers, there is some kind of icon or notification when you get VM (my girlfriend's Nokia 3650 has a little icon that turns on.) I can't find anything similar on the PDA2K - nothing seems to happen when I receive a voicemail.
Has anyone else on USA T-Mobile figured out how to tell when they have a new voicemail? I've been missing my VM notifications all day and increasing the delay in returning phone calls.
Thanks!

phone t-mob?
most probably a problem on T-Mobile's end in that the notifications aren't getting sent to your phone to tell it u have a voicemail. The Blue Angel does have a voicemail icon... I'd give them a call and they'll probably sort you out with a SIM update for it.

I get voicemail notifications but when I try and connect using my mailbox number i get a recorded messaging saying that they are unable to connection from this network.
Using landline to voicemail works OK. I have called t-mobile up and they've reset my voicemail (haven't told them i've upgraded the phone).
Everything else seems to be working fine. I assume this is a setting issue.
Help!
You need to put an extra zero at the front of the number it calls for your voicemail - for some reason, on WM6, it omits the zero - an extra one puts it back.
HTH
Smiffy
That fixed it. Phew!
Another anoying problem is that the phone no longer identifies the caller from my contact list when it rings. Any ideas anybody.
Anybody had any luck getting the SIP client working?
It appears contacts synched from outlook do not come up as recognized when i get an inbound call.
Created contact on the phone and viola phone number recognized.
I got this problem after installing one of the T-Mobile WM6 test roms, I just dial my own number, that works for me.

Yeah, same thing with me, only I replaced the voicemail number with my own number so it works.
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
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

Hi all, I've been asking around on AC forums and haven't got an answer yet, but going to see if tomorrow I can get to an ATT store for tech help. No help on the phone at all, just 3 different Tech reps going over the same thing again and again, with no result. Tried third party apps Google Voice and Youmail, can't even get the access codes to go through. The phone seems to be having errors, because it's looking for the Verizon Voicemail and even though I was able to set speed dial #2 for dialing ATT's Voicemail service, all I get is Missed Call notifications. Not every missed call leaves a voicemail, so would like some sort of Notification to alert me to my voicemails. Need this feature a lot. When I dial the access codes or even try changing to the ATT voicemail their Way with Holding down "1" , all i get is Call can't be completed and an error code. Also a message at the top of keypad screen saying No Sim, Sim Error. To me it seems like it's trying to dial the Verizon number, and it can't because of being on ATT. Has anyone had this problem?
Does anybody know a workaround. I was able to get google voice forwarded to my cell phone number, but doesn't still give a notification. I do get emails sent, even though send a text is clicked on Google Voicemail. Also spent time with their tech support with no help there. Notifications is Set and I have an alert for it on the Phone's Voicemail setting, so that's not working either. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
You can set att voicemail to speed dial 1. I don't know the number. I just downloaded att visual voicemail app and got it to work. In order to set voicemail you need to go to settings>aplications>call>voicemail settings. Then input the number you're trying to use. It will save it as speed dial #1
