Data Roaming OFF and Voicemail when traveling internationally

I've used other phones internationally. Generally I do not get a notification that I have voicemail messages; I have to check for them periodically. However, to save money on roaming charges I don't use the mobile to check; I call the voicemail number from my laptop using Skype or using a prepaid IP or wireline calling card.

Also, holding the "1" button usually doesn't work, because it doesn't have the international prefix preprogrammed. So even using a mobile phone it is necessary to actually enter the voicemail retrieval number (or save it as a contact).

edunwody is exactly correct. Visual Voicemail will not work without data services, but you can still get your voicemail the old-fashioned way by holding down the 1 key on the keypad until it dials your voicemail. You can then listen to your messages, save, delete, etc.

The way I understand it is that you will need to push and hold #1 to go to your normal Voice Mail.
Visual will not work. I dont think.
Your phone should ring if you are set upon Int.plan

I can verify that holding down the 1 button to dial your voicemail does work if you have international dialing assist turned on in your phone settings.
