Forwarding when busy/no answer - MDA, XDA, 1010 General

I have a siemens sx56 and AT&T in the US.
The call forwarding settings on the device default to AT&T's voicemail system. This is something I'd like to change (I want it to go to my voicemail-to-email system)
AT&T says that this is "unsupported" and I can only forward all calls to a number other than their voicemail number.
Does anyone know if there is a workaround for this? I assume that the fwding numbers are stored on their network somewhere, so when my phone is off/out of range (which is quite often)....
Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated.

T-Mobile Voicemail (number to divert to)

Hi Guys.
Has anyone got the number to divert t-mob voicemail to? I can't seem to find it anywhere on the web :?
And I'm on an unlocked hero so it wasn't set up as standard
079....
Log in to Your T-Mobile online account, select support, then confirm your phone type and they will SMS you the updated details.
Alternatively give them a call.
This is the trouble with T-Mobile, EVERY user has their own v-mail number as opposed to 121 or 123... weirdos!
Oh that makes sense. I had the number, but when I dialed it took me to my inbox. Which makes sense now.
Thanks

[Q] SIP Calling (Native)

I'm a little confused on SIP setup, mainly regarding the backend services (trunk / pbx ??). Anyone care to lay it out for a noob and possibly somewhere i can look at pricing for a single number w/ outbound calling abilities?
Is there a way to configure my current Sprint number to make free calls over WIFI or simply where cell coverage does not exist but a WIFI connection does?
Thanks in advance....
Bumping for knowledge.... Does anyone in here know about SIP setup?
No, you can not. You'd need to forward your sprint calls to another number, or do the Sprint Google Voice integration then add another SIP phone number to google voice to ring at the same time.
that way when someone calls your sprint number, it's integrated with google voice, and rings your separate VOIP number as well..
Catch is, you'll have to pay for a voip/sip account somewhere that gives you a number to forward to.

[Q] Disabling Conditional Call Forwarding

Hi all.
So I have this great SI4G from AT&T that I rooted and unlocked to my network, Rogers. However I've noticed that the 3 conditional call forwarding options are set with (I assume) the previous owner's number. If I try to disable them, or change the number I get an "unsupported" or "unexpected answer" error message.
I can still make and receive calls, but if I miss them, they will not go to my voicemail. Rogers does not support those options so I really don't know how to kill them... Any ideas?
I've seen this around and about the forums, but no solution really...
Thanks!
This is not meant to bump the topic, but I just flashed a new ROM and I still get those settings. This would mean it's stuck in the SIM card... which doesn't make any sense to me.
Anyone?
call rogers tech support, they should be able to help. My best guess.
*sigh* yeah thanks chrisrotolo, I forget to do that too often... and guess what? The forward thingy was a bug actually; they reset my VM and now it works fine. Turns out all the numbers that appeared are the numbers that the network puts in to compensate for these unsupported options.
+1 for me on the duh scale...

[Q] [Error] Changing Voicemail Number?

I am having trouble changing the voicemail number on my Galaxy S2. At present pressing the voicemail speeddail does nothing other then prompting me to add my voicemail number and directs me to the settings app.
If I try to change it in Settings > Call settings, I get the error message 'Voice Mail Number change unsuccesful'. But no real reason why it happens and its annoying me greatly as I can't clear my voicemail counter without it and what not >_<
Tried power cycling and what not and neither of it has helped, so has anyone of you gotten any idea as to how I can add it to my phone or fix that stupid error. Any help or advice short of doing a full reset is more then welcome, and I do hope someone might be able to help me....
Thanks in advance.
There is a copy of your voice mailbox number on the sim card that may conflict with what you are trying to do.
Talk to your provider, they can flush your mailbox and allow you to reset the number.
How can they flush my sim card, or am I reading your comment wrong?.
Just for clarifying I changed provider on my phone and I am unsure wether the error happened during that change since I can't remember fiddling with the voicemail bit before the last couple of days and running into that error.
they can flush the settings for your voicemail on their server which will allow you to make changes to your voice mail account.
Well they tried something which advertantly didn't work >_<. But apparently the voicemail number isn't even on my simcard.
They tried even more stuff >_<.
And when I press and hold #1 on my phone it says there isnt a voicemail number on my sim. But trying to change it through settings it still says "Voicemail Number changed unsuccesful"
I have the same problem. Did you find a solution?
At the moment I have limited the issue to being operator dependant. Because I have the issue on one sim from my regular provider, while trying two other providers simcards doesnt cause this error.
Next on list is to try another simcard and then go digging in the phone to see what might be causing it. But I will be pinging you if I find the solution.
dnesdlrow, where are you from and what provider do you use?.
I've got the same problem. I flashed to a custom & now there is no voicemail number on my SIM card.
I called customer service and the gave me a 10 digit number to plug in. They said the number is different for everyone so if anyone else has the same trouble you can simply call your carrier.
You need to put in your carriers specific voice mail number. For example I am on O2 UK and mine is 901.
Use google of contact your carrier for the number.

Hello,
I had a similar issue. I changed the plan on my phone, and afterward the voicemail didn't work when I did a long press on the #1 button. It kept saying that there was no voicemail number, and when I tried to enter it into the settings manually it kept saying "Voicemail number change unsuccessful."
I called Rogers and they gave me a new voicemail number; I could dial it and set up my voicemail, but when I tried to program it into the dedicated #1 speed dial spot, I still could not change it. I tried copying it to my SIM card and adding it as a contact to select for the speed dial slot, but that didn't work either. I suspected that this new number was conflicting with the SIM card, so I went to Rogers and asked for a new one. Despite some resistance, they gave it a shot, and it worked perfectly thereafter. Just be sure to copy your contacts over to your phone before getting a new SIM!
I hope this solution works for others too!
Cheers and good luck!
Help please ...
I too am trying to set my voicemail for the speed dial "1" key.
while at the keypad screen:-
menu-> call setting -> scroll to the heading "voicemail", option "voicemal service", is set default to "my carrier".
I then choose to change the "voicemail settings" -> "voicemail number", and enter the new voicemail number to dial, press ok .... and this is where the problem is...
When I press OK ... I get the following error "Voicemail number change unsuccessful"
I would like to to have this number changed , as every time manually dial my voicemail number it constantly ask for my password.
Why is this happening, I have purchased this phone outright, it is model type i9300, running Android 4.1.2.
Hopefully this can be an easy fix...?
PS...
This also causes a problem with Australian virtual mobile carriers, like Amaysim, Kogan, Aldi, who use Telstra & Optus as there underlying carriers, and and also will cause issues when travelling abroad, because you will not be able to access your voicemail if the number can not be changed to the full international dialing equivalent..
Also Can't Change the Voicemail number
I'm running a non-rooted, GS3 from VZW. Running 4.1.2.
The current voicemail number is *86 (Verizon's). I'd like to change it because I'm abroad and *86 is not my carrier's voicemail number. Every time I go to Phone, Call Settings, Voicemail Settings, and edit the number to the local one, I get "Error: Voicemail number change unsuccesful."
Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Same problem still
I'm on an S4 Mini with cm11 m6 and habe the same problem with a German T-Mobile card. I can easily dial the number 3311. Why can't I simply assign that to the #1 key?

SMS divert

Hi
Not sure if posted in correct section, apologises if its not.
Im wondering if the following problem can be solved.
I can not receive reception when at work so want to be able to divert text messages to another mobile number while there.
The sender must be able to just use my primary number and if im out of network coverage then the message automatically diverts to another number. This is so people dont need to know two numbers for me and i dont have to inform everyone everytime i go to work.
I know there are some apps on play store that do this but need coverage to divert the message so theres no point in it for my needs. Is it even possible to divert the message out of coverage? Is there a tasker solution?
Obviously phone calls can be diverted easily but can texts.
Any help is appreciated even if to clarify that its not possible when out of signal.
Thanks.
*Even divert to email would be a help*
