  • IPhone 4s - Voice mail Button - Settings required

    Hi Apple and all
    I have an iPhone 4s in London UK. it is unlocked so I didnt want to go with expensive contracts like O2. So I am using a cheap contract from company called TalkMobile.
    Talkmobile provide better signal and cheaper line of sim only contracts. This has worked well for me as I am now paying £8 a month for my 300 min contract and 500MB data in comparison to £21 O2 contracts.
    Talkmobile dont have Visual Mail service but have voice mail service that they charge for it. So I switch it off. (dialed 1210) that mean no one calles my voice mail. I suspriped to an app voice mail service called HulloMail. and that works great for me because I use it to personalise my voice mail and allot more security on it.
    My question is.
    How can I change the voice mail button to point to Hullomail app instead.
    or
    How can I disable the voice mail button all together.
    or
    How do I switch off the voice mail button with a password or something.
    Reason why I want it changed is because even though I disabled people calling to my voice mail via the network provider. The iPhone will still call my voice mail if I press the voicmail button and I will be charged £0.10p for everytime I press it, to be honest at the moment its nusence to me, because MY FAT Finngers press it everytime I press the call app and accidantely (with my FAT Fingers) press it.
    Surely this was a bad design by apple in the first place where by users cant disable, change, restrict or modifiy the voice mail button. If this cant be done then need to be fixed by Apple.

    You can not.

  • Why is basic visual voice mail free on the Note 3 and 2.99 a month for the S4 ?

    Why is basic visual voice mail free on the Note 3 and 2.99 a month for the S4 ?

    I'm trying to reach these issues myself. There are a few different flavors of voicemail:
    Basic voice mail -- the kind you call in with your phone and press touch tones, like people used to do twenty years ago. Included with contract.
    Basic visual voice mail -- see your messages listed by caller, choose which one to play. Included with contract, but only on certain phones. The Note yes, Galaxy s5 yes, Galaxy s4 no.
    Visual Voice Mail -- the 2.99/mo version Verizon wants you to pay for. Has the features of 2, but also will transcribe your voice mails into text. Available on most phones because it is a Verizon app.
    iphone visual voicemail. Same as 2, for all intents and purposes. Has always been included because Apple established it as a condition for the carriers to be permitted to sell them.
    The mystery is number 2, what you are asking about. Though it is mentioned on a verizon comparison chart, 'basic visual voicemail' is not discussed in any verizon literature and I suspect most techs don't know about it yet. It seems to have been enabled with a kitkat update (version 4.4.4 of Android) that has been released on some, but not all phones. I think the way it worked is that users were given a free trial of the pay version of voicemail, but at the end of the trial were able to 'downgrade' to basic voicemail and keep that without paying.
    I also have an S4, and basic /no cost visual voice mail does not seem to be possible, though I have heard there may be some ways to make it work with technical workarounds. I have not confirmed any of these methods but they almost certainly would not be recommended by Verizon staff.
    To get back to your question, basic visual voicemail and what Verizon calls regular 'visual voicemail' are different products. The basic seems to be a recent product only available on some phones. The regular 'visual voicemail' is the pay service available on all phones.

  • How to set the number of rings before voice mail answers?

    How to set the number of rings before voice mail answers?

    For me its:
    1. Open the phone app and dial *#61# on the Keypad. Press the Call button.
    2. Locate this text on the screen: "Setting Interrogation Succeeded, Voice Call Forwarding, When Unanswered, Forwards to +" and record the 11-digit number after the + symbol.
    3. Touch the Dismiss button. Now enter this code on the Keypad: *61*+ followed by the 11-digit Forwards to number recorded in step 2, followed by *11 and *ringtime#. Ringtime is the number of seconds you want your iPhone to ring before voicemail picks up. Your finished code should look something like this:
    *61*+18555513466*11*30#
    In the example above the ring time is set to 30 seconds. Press the Call button.
    4. You should receive the message: Setting Activation Succeeded. Press Dismiss and next time you receive a call it will ring for the new amount of time before going to voicemail.

    Well, what happens when you try to use it. That would help in the troubleshooting. Have you contacted your cellular carrier? Voicemail is a carrier function.

  • Ready to throw my iPhone in the bin - answering calls

    Hi guys, can anybody help me with how to fix my problem? Basically, I cannot answer my phone properly half the time, because of the "Remind me" and "Respond with message" buttons.
    When I take it out of my pocket, these buttons are accidentally activated because the screen rubs against my pocket. It's not rare - it's about half the time. The phone stops ringing and I have to dismiss the screen, its a nightmare. Worse, I have even on several occasions accidentally declined calls with a response, it is so embarrassing to call back and explain the reason is my iPhone. When the other caller uses Android, the laughter back is painful.
    I thought that it's common sense and basic design, that when a touch-screen phone is locked, no simple buttons should become active in case they are accidentally pressed in pockets. Isn't this why you have slide to open/answer call/open camera etc?
    After so many feedbacks, and so many updates to iOS, I am really annoyed this problem is not addressed.
    Perhaps there is some setting or feature I am missing? I just want to remove these buttons or make them sliders. The best I have found at the moment is activate Touch ID or passcode and disable the "respond with message" button, but the problem remains with the "remind me" button??
    I have submitted feedback to Apple so many times, to please add a setting to disable BOTH these buttons AND to make sure it works with people who don't want to use Touch ID or passcode. After so many feedbacks and so many iOS updates, I think maybe I am missing something and I am not using my iPhone properly as surely such an essential feature can't be this badly designed. Can anyone help me please?

    No-one at the dinner table had reported it on Apple Support Communities either - not even myself ! This does not mean we have not met with this problem, or are liars or fantasists.
    There are all kinds of bugs or issues or problems which so few people report. It does not make the problem any less real or popularly encountered or troublesome.
    When there are problems that affect a large number of people it is reflected in the forums very quickly. For example:
    You will note that it is 2 1/2 MILLION views and almost 13,000 posts. Before the thread was locked 3 years ago. This was an actual bug, and it affected less than 1% of iPhone users, but still got the response you see. And this was a time when there were less than 100 million iPhones in use. Now there are almost 600 million. So if yours was a problem for even a tiny minority you would see lots of posts about it.
    You need to change the way you use the phone to avoid the problem. No point in getting a different phone, either, because all smartphones handle this the same way.

  • Does Apple iPhone 4 Dock support answering calls through apple headphone

    Does Apple iPhone 4 Dock support answering calls through apple headphone? or is the audio out just a simple audio out that cannot interact with the headphone cable remote control, e.g. answering calls , skipping to next song as we used to as normal?

    From my experience, whichever one is connected last reigns supreme and takes over.
    When I walk to my car, I have my headphones in, and when I plug it into my car dock (with the headphones still plugged in and music still playing), the music switches from the headphones and pumps through my car stereo.
    Then when I get out of the car and plug my headphones in (with the car dock still attached and playing music), the headphones take over.
