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.

A thanks guy the directions has resolved the issue and I can now dial number one on hemers to retrieve voice mail.

Can't Send SMS Text Messages

Hi
This damned *#*#4636#*#* menu!!!
I know, I shouldn't be messing with what I don't know but I moved from an iphone so that I could 'fiddle' with a phone hence the GNex.
Anyhow. I have been having serious issues in sorting this out until I pieced the information together in this post. None of this I can take credit for - as it is built on others work - I just put it together in one easily accessible place.
The problem is that this menu somehow wipes the SIM card's record of the SMSC number.
You can't just enter the SMS Centre number as it is, you have to convert it into something called PDU format (no idea what this is)
I have converted a number of UK SMS Centre numbers into the correct format below.
Method:
1. Go to phone dialpad.
2. Enter *#*#4636#*#*
3. Scroll down to the bit that says SMSC
4. Type your sixteen digit number in from the table below.
5. Press Update
6. Press Refresh
7. Press Back button to exit the app.
8. Test by sending an SMS
Hope that helps. The GNex doesn't give an option which is easily accessible from anywhere to change the SMSC number, downright silly as my 10 year old Nokia would let me do that.
Just to help a few peoples out in the UK:
Network, Number, SMSC to type in
Vodafone (Monthly), +447785016005, 0791447758100650
O2 (Monthly), +447802000332, 0791448720003023
O2 (Pay & Go), +447802092035, 0791448720900253
Orange, +447973100973, 0791449737019037
Orange, +447973100974, 0791449737019047
T-Mobile, +447958879879, 0791449785788997
Tesco, +447802092035, 0791448720900253
Virgin, +447958879890, 0791449785788909
Three, +447782000800, 0791447728008000
ASDA, +447785014315, 0791447758103451
GiffGaff, +447802002606, 0791448720006260
Hope that helps someone out there as it helped me. I've been pulling out my hair all day...

My PDU number was not in this list, i solved this by moving my sim card to an old phone, and inserting the phone number there.

HTC T-Mobile G2 SMSC number update doesn't work

I am trying to change the SMSC number of my HTC t-mobile G2 via *#*#4636#*#* command through phone information screen.
But I get no reaction from the device though I push the update and refresh buttons.
And I am still unable to send sms with my phone. I checked also with the service provider. No problem from their side...
Is this hopeless?

Display Phone Keypad for Carrier Message Options

I've come to a little problem with some changes my carrier did with the way I review my line account information. It all starts by typing *222# to display the information, which a couple of weeks ago was fine, it returned a message with all the information, Account balance, Remaining minutes, etc... 'cause it's a prepaid line. The my carrier (Uff!) in Colombia, took the decision to change the system, and now instead of showing directly the information, now shows a menu with some options. Of course each option is related to a function, the first one would be to review the account information which is the one I need to check my remaining minutes in the account. The problem is... with Windows Phone (currently updated to version 7.10.8107) when you get that type of carrier messages, there's no way to display the keypad to send the number option and receive the information I'm looking for.
Now the tricky part, is there a way, through the Registry to enable the keypad when the carrier sends that message? Otherwise I'm screwed... If anyone knows how to bypass the fact that the system disables the keypad option in the options bar, would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance to anyone that helps.

One thing you might be able to do is save the contact (*222#) in your address book, then put commas after it (press-and-hold on the keys to access additional keys) and add the numbers after it. That way, the phone will dial the initial number, wait (I think it waits one second per comma?) and then dial the number. No idea if this will work with a GSM shortcode (what you're using), though.

Thanks, I'll try and tell if it worked... (hope)

[Q] How do you program your new phone number into a rooted phone?

I have a rooted phone. I changed my phone number about a year ago. My phone has had no problems, none that I noticed, until a couple months ago. I noticed that I couldn't send MMS. I read a lot of threads about the source of the problem being the APN settings. I tried everything that I came across but no luck. Then I found out by looking in my settings that my phone is programmed with my old phone number. I saw some threads that said to try certain messaging apps to get the MMS to work but none of them did. I finally found an app that allows you to input a different phone number. I put in my newer phone number and now I can send MMS. I also found out that when I called my voicemail it called my old number. I had to go into my call settings and to the voicemail settings to change the number to my newer number. What can I do to program my phone with my newer phone number? I don't like the messing app that I'm using now. I want to go back to Go SMS Pro. I really liked it.

I am going to assume that you have sprint service. If you do, I know two options to get the phone info updated. If you have done nothing else to the phone other than root it and most likely you'll need to be on a stock ram than you can try this.
For the first option you'll need the phone MSL code.. dial it like this ##000000# (change zeroes with the MSL) than edit the phone number in the field and don't change the MSID unless you know what it is.
Second and the best in my opinion, is to try and do a hands free activation by dialing ##72786#.. this will reset the phone number information. After you do that, the phone will reboot and it will try to make hands free activation. *This option require internet access to get the updates. Incase your phone doesn't connect to 3g or 4g, connect it to wifi and it should update.
Please be careful and keep in mind that I assumed that you have sprint service and also using a stock rooted ram and have changed nothing on the device other than gaining root access.
I hope that helps.

AT&T call forwarding

This is a weird one and has me a little concerned. If I try to turn off call forwarding I get an error telling me that the carrier doesn't support disabling call forwarding. Then it puts in the number +1 832-597-9997 as the number to forward to. Does anyone else get anything like this? Go to phone app, settings, calls. This still happens after a full wipe and install of the factory image.
PS, I have a pixel 3 but there's a lot more activity in the XL forum
Man, the XDA app and site is a pita. Not sure what it did to my title.

You piqued my curiosity so I went into the phone settings menu and selected call forwarding. It initialized for the first time and populated some phone numbers similar (not the same) as yours. I then selected the call forwarding toggle (it was set to off) and I got a dialog box to input the number I wanted to forward to. It appears to be working but I haven't tested it. May be a provisioning issue. How old is your SIM? Wouldn't hurt to swing by AT&T to get a new one.

What happens when you go into one of the three options, busy, etc, and turn it off?

When busy, When unanswered, When unreachable are all greyed out with the same phone number but I guess that is the Google service number or AT&T's. It accepts my forwarding number. I can then tap that number and get out to the pop up dialog which gives the option to turn off, cancel or update. Turning off and updating works fine. Exiting leaves me at the main settings menu. Looks like is is working with no errors. Check your SIM to make sure it is one of the newer series. If not get a new free SIM provisioned at AT&T. Are you PRE paid, or POST pay contract? Are you AT&T or on an MVNO?
