View Full Version : change delay to divert to voicemail or turn vm off
How do I change the delay before my calls divert to vm viocemail? They divert in 15 seconds which I find is too short and I often miss calls.
Alternatively how do I turn VM off? In my T610 I have tried repeatedly to cancel 'divert unanswered' but everytime I check the status it has changed back to divert on. :mad:
It is set as a standard length of time ,but I believe you can get it extended if you phone them up .( there ma be a one of charge.)
Found the answer on another website... for anyone who's interested you dial the following code:
**61*447945190314*11*40#
**61* is divert settings
the 4479xxx bit is VM voicemail service, change if your with O2, t-mile etc
the *11* means voice calls
the *40# means divert after after 40 seconds. This is the highest VMs network would accept
I hope this helps someone else

I was told you need to dial, **61*44068----------*11*40#
Where ---------- is your mobile number without the 0 at the start, not sure if it's different for PAYG
Glad I found this
Who on earth thinks 15 seconds is long enough to answer a mobile??!
Although I've just had my Voicemail number changed to 44002---------- which you have to put in the code for it to work

Although it seems it's now 30 seconds as the maximum
Is there any code where you can turn off VM VOICE PLUS personal message and name using these codes
I have called VM support who say these messages are OPTIONAL - a lie, you have NO OPTION other to record a message and a name - other services allow you to use a STANDARD GREETING - but not VM it seems ???

When did you call as you should have the option of a standard welcome or recording your own message greeting.
Call tomorrow after 0800 and you should get some help and advice.
Thanks for comment, BUT I have called them twice and they tell me I should have the option which I do NOT have - they do not seem to offer to see this as a fault.
Do I have to spend hours on the phone and pay £2 a month extra for a service which fails to deliver?
Any practical ideas of getting it fixed
The 1571 service does work on a Sunday and I have spoken today but current queue is 20 mins + - but you can choose which music to listen to while you wait (maybe not for me)
Are you talking about the landline voicemail service?
Yes - did not know there was any other version unless you mean mobile
Just had another hour on the phone - told me to access 1571 from another phone and would get option - rubbish - its just the same
is anyone outthere? perhaps I should go to BT or drop the Plus Voicemail - ??
As this thread is in the Mobile Phone forum, it was talking about the Mobile Phone Voicemail ;)
If there is no option to use a standard greeting on the Plus voicemail, then you would have to swap to the free version to use a pre-recorded greeting
