Mine doesn't work, either. Maybe i's not on the sim, don't know and can't tell. (What good is this feature if you can't control which # it dials?)


Anyway, I have a Mr. Voicemail in my contacts and call him every now and then from a desktop shortcut.

Add voicemail shortcut support.

Call log improved.
It seems to have 'speed dial' or 'shortcut' enabled for button 1. First reply confirmed ok, but I want to know how to configure it.
I just started with T-Mobile last month, and the SIM card they sent me was first used with the 900. I have since had the card installed in both my Motorola Q and V365. I made no "speed dial" configurations for voice mail, following T-Mo SIM installation, though the Motorola phones have "1" configured for voice mail speed dial by default.

I currently have my AT&T SIM card in my 900, and previously made the "Voice Mail" contact and installed the shortcut (yellow colored balloon with tape reel icon) on my desktop. Again, no "speed" dial changes made, but the contact has both AT&T and T-Mobile voice mail access numbers in the file.

When pressing/holding 1 on the dial pad, it calls the "T-Mobile" access number, which is listed as the "2nd number" in the contact.


FWIW, the T-Mobile and AT&T access numbers (does not log me in automatically to T-Mo, as 900 has AT&T SIM installed currently) are precursored with "+1".

None of the other speed dial info shows in any of my other contacts...going to check raw *.csv and *.vcf data.

UPDATE on *.csv/*.vcf file...no speed dial info saved there, and none of my other speed dials work.

Still not sure why it defaults to the "2nd" number listed in my "Voice Mail" contact (T-Mobile)...esp. given that my AT&T SIM is installed now.

Did you "import contacts" into the 900 from your "old SIM"? Was this a method used for people who "do" have this working?

Maybe that is the common denominator?

On my O2 sim, if i hold one it goes to the voicemail. This is the only contact that's come with the simcard. If i look up the conact, there is no difference to the others, not sure how it works.

I have not managed to get this working.

This is a Nokia Retail N900 with a UK Vodafone Sim. Tried putting the SIM in my old phone and adding a SIM contact as Voicemail.

SIM back into N900, pressing does not work.

Then tried importing contacts from SIM card. Still no joy.

Not sure of any other combinations to try
