anyway to change the # of rings before it goes to VM?

are they any other *#xx# codes iamdrumming?

I'm not sure how to change the number of rings before it goes to VM. I am sure it is different for each phone though, and some lower end phones will not have that option at all.

Yes, there are lots of other codes. Here's a sampling.

Please note though. I do not condone the use of any of these codes. If you screw up your phone, it's your fault 😉

Nokia Codes..

are they any other *#xx# codes iamdrumming?

Glad you are up and running though!

I tried all methods you mentioned above, but unfortuantelly none of them worked, they all based on that I have already have a correct mailbox number setup on my phone. Take the method, Menu -> Messages -> Voicemail , for example, it shows the wrong number I entered before.

Finally, I solved the problem by asking the mailbox number from a workmate who also has a SO phone. It is an easy way, isn't it? (:>

Again, thank you for your help.

Not sure if it's for all Nokia's though

It's not. Best to Google for the owner's manual of the specific phone.

BTW it should also be possible to use your own phone number, i.e. call yourself, in order to get to your voicemail.

Menu-> Contacts-> Settings-> Voice mailbox number-> Select

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Look for a menu option something like...

Menu -> Messaging -> Voice Messages -> Voice mailbox number [Nokia]

or

Menu -> Messages -> Voicemail -> Options -> Setup -> Voicemail Setup -> Voicemail Number [Motorola]

You can get the voicemail number by entering *#61# (then press send) on your SpeakOut phone.

It will say "Requesting" then "Call Forwarding" and "Activate for: Voice calls". On the bottom of the screen will say "Details". Click on the left button. On the next screen it will then say "Number" and "Delay".

Click again on "Number" and it will show you your voicemail number.

Don't worry, we'll get through this. 🙂

Your voicemail number is a different number altogether. It isn't a passcode, but a normal phone number.
I'm not sure where you are located, but my phone is 905 area code, and this is the number that is in my phone:

+14162705628

Enter that whole number in, including the '+'

Also, try this number if you are in the GTA:

+16476699989

Hope that helps!

When I hold the 1 button the first time, it poped up a text box asking me to enter the voice number, I have thought it is the passcode, so I entered it. then the phone was trying to call the number I just entered, and said the number cannot be connected and handed off. If I try to hold 1 button again, it automatically calls the number I entered before, and failed. So I am screwed. However I can accesss the voice mail from landline without problem, but still consider it would be handy to just able to access voice mail through SO phone itself.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Welcome to SpeakOut!

Voicemail is not activated automatically. Just your number is the first time you use your phone.

Hold down the 1 button on your SpeakOut phone. It will then call the voicemail number already programmed into your phone.
From there, you will be able to set up the voicemail options such as recording your name, greeting etc. Also, you will set your password. The default password is the last 4 digits of your phone number, but you can change that easily.

It costs hardly anything.

To listen to a short message, true. But to set up and configure VM, add a personal greetimg, etc. can take 10 minutes or more. Why waste $2 or $3 when you can do it all for free?

That costs airtime. You can also accomplish the same for free by:
1. call SO CS and ask them to activate VM
2. turn off your SO phone
3. call your SO number from a landline
4. press # at the VM prompt
5. set up your VM information.
