set voicemail number in iPhone 4S

iOS 5.1

Same problem.

Apple, help!!!!!!!!!'

*5005...

**5005...

*#5005..

None of these codes works.

@Apple : I do not need visual voicemail. I simply want to have a button to reach my voicemail, like I had on all my cell phones in the last 14 years. Motorola, Ericsson, Ericsson, Nokia, SonyEricsson, Nokia - they all one. It was the '1'.

Please let me assign my voicemail number to the voicemail button. Please.

... and by the way: This thread has 17523views. It seems that fritsn and I are not the only ones.

This is a very simple issue for Apple on why we can not program our "Voice Mail" button on the iPhone 4S, to dial the correct Voice Mail number for our particular carrier.

This has gone unresolved for more than 3 months now.

OK This thread has been running for 3 months now since I started it.

It is quite obvious at this point that this is an important issue for many iPhone owners, but Apple has totally failed to take any steps to rectify it.

Actually they don't give a ****. We already know that they disabled the old code that worked on previous iPhones phones, and are now providing this functionality by way of a "Carrier Bundle" which must be downloaded from your carrier. Problem is that most of the carriers do not know this.

What I can not understand is how the people from Apple that read these threads have not chimed in to officially confirm that this is indeed the case.

In 3 months, nobody from Apple has come forward and tried to explain this, or offer to solve our problem in any manner.

This is very poor customer service in my opinion. This is actually not like Apple who usually makes a concerted effort to rectify these kind of issues.

I think that everyone on this thread should now start to e-mail directly to Tim Cook.

Maybe he will pay some attention to this issue.

If we do not have an official answer from Apple in the next 48 hours then we should try to publicize this to as many of the Apple blogs as possible so that it will get some recognition as a legitimate issue that needs to be solved.

Hear, hear!

And not only this.... Apple seems to be to proud on its own product design, that it forgets to listen to its customers. They became to arrogant because of the good reviews and praise they get from press and customers. That stopped them from listening to more demanding customers that use their devices on the edge of their capabilities.

A few more iPhone wishes from me:

- Better bluetooth support for carkits with combined AD2P and Headset profile

- Bluetooth menu always accesible on the same place as the Airplay button now is

- Cellular usage report call time split in Sent and Received

- SMS usage report in Sent and Received

- SMS delivery reports

- Call forwarding split in 1. Always (*21*), 2. If not answered (*61*), 3. If unreachable (*62*), 4. If Busy (*67*)

- Separate access to SIM contact list

... and a few more, but let me keep the list short here.....

Note that the last five items are standard in even the cheapest Nokia Symbian phones.

What is Tim Cooks voicemail?

Frits Nolet

Netherlands

Use Twitter!

That brought the dutch mobile telco T-Mobile on its knees 2 years ago, when a well known person started complaining about their service on Twitter....

I got it. I started working with the code he and just made adjustments.

Use this

*5005*86*+1xxxyyyzzzz*

hope this solves it all. To bad apple couldn't figure this out. It took a guy with his first apple phone 10 min to figure out.

Didnt work for me. What did you press after you entered your numbers then the astrix? because when i press the dial button is just dialied out.

also do i need the+ in there? because i know mostlikely you added that to show to add your number after. But if its supposed to be there how do you add the +symbol?

Yes you do need the + in there. Try it again exactly as I had put it iny last post with the obvious exception to make sure you use your phone number instead of xxxyyyzzzz.

If you don't know how to put the + in there it is entered by holding the 0.

Ok, so once i have my info in placed do i press the call button?

Yes then you may have to wait till the call fails with 3 beeps or it may just take the code.

yup, doesnt work for me 😟. Thanks though. It just rings and i get a message "the call cant be completed as dialed, please check the number and dial again"

What service provider do you use?

What do you type in to access you voicemail currently?

I'm currently in the Cayman Islands. Service provider is LIME. its 123 that we dial.

It used to be the Voicemail button when i had the iPhone4.

We dont use Visual Vmail here. Also my phone is Factory unlocked. if i didnt mention that before.

Dial this exactly and let me know if it works. Don't leave a single number or symbol out. P.s.- have you already set you v.m. Up with a password?

*5005*86*+123*

We dont have visual Vmail here. Just regualr voicemail. I normally would have to just press the button on my iphone 4 before i got the 4s and it worked but now it doesnt'.
