I am not sure why this is highlighted in the changelog, but voicemail support in 1.1 is still incomplete.

In 1.1, the "1"-speedial only works if there is a voicemail contact stored on the sim-card's voicemailbox field. Not all sim-cards have such a field. If you have a voicemailbox contact with a special voicemailbox icon next to it in the contacts sim-card subview, then your sim-card has such a contact and it should have been automatically imported into contacts and the "1" speed-dialling should work.

If you dont have such a contact, or you remove the contact it wont work. Unfortunately you cannot in 1.1 manually add such a contact, it has to be imported from the sim-card. You can edit it however. If there is several numbers, then the "1"-shortcut should always use the first one listed.

Hope that clarifies it.

I managed to get Button 1 speed dial work.

I go to Contacts, view as status and then select Groups. I groups you could select the options to show the SIM Contacts.

There I have a contact named "Voice Mail" with a Record picture on right, I selected the contacted and I added in the Contact List.

After this pressing 1 more than one second calls me to the Voice Mail number.

My experience is opposite:

- I have my AT&T SIM in the 900 now.

- Press/hold 1, dials the T-Mobile (USA) voice mail "access number"

- The T-Mobile number is listed "last" in the contact (AT&T listed first)

- I imported "only" the AT&T SIM's contacts into the 900.

- The AT&T number is listed as the forwarding number, under >Settings >Phone


***** For the people who do "NOT" have it working, do you have a "Call forwarding" number active, and configured, under the "Phone settings"?

So it picks the last, not the first, ok. The voicemail number gets imported from the first sim-card which has one automatically, so that would explain why you have the t-mobile number there.

Call-forwarding has nothing to do with this.

Have you tried to simply edit the voicemail contact, sucht that you revert the order of the numbers or delete the wrong number?

Well again, I never imported the T-Mobile SIM's contacts to the phone..the T-Mo SIM was new when I got the phone. All my contacts came from existing AT&T SIM.

How does the "Call forwarding" setting, "under the phone settings", have nothing to do with it, when it establishes the voice mail system where your calls are forward?

i have Movistar Spain SIM

I think that if you don't have Voice Mail contact in the SIM and you could not import in the main list there would be no way to made speed dial 1 work.

Unless there's some hide configuration to edit that thing that I don't know.

I am in Hong Kong and using 'One2Free' (aka CSL).

SIM have a entry '-Voice Mail' (yes, with a hypen), but still have nothing.

Why Nokia make this so stupid? Can it be a simple speeddial for '1' which used to be happened for all phones in the world? Try to make N900 diff?

There are no option to change the voicemail number either for the shortcut...

Well, with my Motorola Q, I believe there is a "registry" setting change when assigning "speed dails". Again, there is no field in the *.vcf nor *.csv file for speed dial in any of my contacts. I don't believe this is saved on the SIM, rather somewhere "on the phone".

Does anyone know where this may be held in Maemo (equivalent of user settings in registry for WinMo)?
