Techjunkie.com One sign that your phone calls are being ignored is how many rings before it goes to voicemail. Generally, the feedback ringtone will go through several cycles before the voicemail message comes up. If upon placing the phone call, it rings only once or twice and goes to voicemail then your calls are probably being declined. 443 is also the number to dial to retrieve voicemails. To switch voicemail off dial 1626. Voicemail deducts one minute from your Goodybag regardless of length of call (assuming you have minutes left) or, if not, costs 8p per call.
Before you get around configuring this feature, make sure you use a provisioned SIM card. For more information about this subject, get in touch with your carrier. Visual Voicemail is also dependent on whether your service provider supports it – some carriers do, and some don’t.

This doesn’t always work, though. Here are some fixes you might try.
