Calls going straight to voicemail while using Safari

This is normal. Go to the bottom of this page

i had that issue today. my friends were trying to use it as an excuse as to why the iphone is bad. glad to know its not just mine. if a text is sent while using internet(edge) i would assume you would recieve it as soon as soon as the page you are loading is done?

wow thanks for that link.

i was disappointed when i first discoved that my calls were going to voice mail while i was watching you tube. i didn't know that was part of the plan. especially when in the apple commercial a call comes in and interupts the you tube viewing (you know the one with the skateboading dog). talk about false and misleading advertisement...

i didn't have to worry about missing a call on used my treo, but my treo didn't play video and surf the net as the iphone does. at least there's virtual voicemail to bring us surfers up to speed.

This is normal, but fixable.
It is just a complication to the iphone
When using an application if you get a call you will see the prompt pop up if you have alowed this in your general settings.
when you see this prompt go ahead and press "DISMISS". THEN press the answer button at the bottom and you will be connected to your caller without them going to voice mail.
That took alot of calls phone to phone to figure out. Hehe. Hope this helps.

Meggerz,

Will you explain where this fixable setting is located in the general settings.
I don't see anything with regard to receiving a call while you're using another application. I sure would like to have the same results as you've posted.

Thanks..

You can surf the web and receive phone calls at the same time (as you see in the Apple commercial), but you must be connected to a WIFI network at the time. Safari will connect to the internet via WIFI and phone calls will be received via EDGE.

ahh its working.. that's the answer..


thank you very much Matthew!!

To make matters worse, if you receive a call while browsing via EDGE, and your caller chooses not to leave a voicemail, you will never know they called. There is no missed call indication. I don't recall this ever happening with my EDGE enabled Nokia or Samsung.
