Hi
When my phone is off (or no service) incoming calls do not show on my missed call list.
There may be a voice mail when my phone is back on but no corresponding missed call.
Is there a setting that will show missed calls when phone is off?

Considering that the iPhone can receive iMessage and SMS that were sent when the device was off and then powered back on, I don't really see why this could not be something that could be implemented. It would just require something similar to that and the setting used to notify you of voicemail. While that sounds simplistic as I say it, I wouldn't know how to do it.

I understand that, I was just saying it may be something that would not be that difficult to implement. Not saying I want or need, but I just believe it could be something that could feasibly be done in some fashion.

Technologically it is certainly possible. But first you would need to have CTIA or some other standards body publish a protocol specification that the carriers and the phone manufacturers would agree to follow. Under the best of circumstances that would take several years. And would it only work with newer devices, or is there a way to develop a standard that could be retrofitted in software to older devices? Would it be for one manufacturer only, like Visual Voicemail (which was developed without standards by agreement between AT&T and Apple), or would it be available for any manufacturer who agreed to support it? And what would be the demand? Would it sell more phones? I can think of ways to do it, but neither Apple nor the carriers want my opinion.
