SS codes not supported by default (was: How do I get the USSD to work?)
 

It's not working for some reason. I still get an error. Do I have to activate something in the settings or what?

Re: How do I get the USSD to work?
 

same here. updated to PR1.2. Still can't do ##21# .

Re: How do I get the USSD to work?
 

Are you guys getting "service code not supported"?

Re: How do I get the USSD to work?
 

yes, 'service code not supported'. **21*XXXXXXXX# fails, too. My first cell phone back in 1997 could handle it.

I am frustrated after long wait.

Re: How do I get the USSD to work?
 

What you are using is not a USSD code, but rather a service code (for call diversion, in your case). They may look the same, but they are, in fact, not.

USSD is indeed implemented now in PR1.2. "Classic" service codes seemingly are not.

Goes to show you that obviously there is no seasoned developer and no seasoned product manager with a decent telephony background in the entire N900 development chain.

But then again, of course, let's all repeat the maemo.org mantra: the N900 is not a phone! :rolleyes:

The Maemo team never did phone development prior to the n900

Well if that's the case, the USSD widget doesn't even work for me also. I try to apply the widget to my desktop and nothing shows up. If it does, it'll just give me an error. *sigh* so I guess I'm stuck with this **** advertising as my voicemail until I use the SIM card in another phone

Uhm, that's what I insinuated, isn't it?

If you intend to implement something that is supposed to provide an existing functionality, you first educate yourself, and preferably learn from people who have longstanding experience in the field. Then, and only then, do you set out to perform your task. Ideally you even go through an iterative process with feedback from the aforementioned 'masters'.

For cryin' out loud, Nokia should have these people. Maybe not in the Maemo team, but probably somewhere else. Not falling back onto this core expertise is, as people like to put it in 2010, an epic fail.

Have you tried using Call forwarding applet to achieve what you are doing?

They have access to Nokia; who's been making phones for quite some time.
