Free Voicemail Issue

Hi,

I am posting this in the hope that there may be a simple answer, as I am now losing the will to live after having been bounced around the Indian call centre for the last half hour.

I would like to set up free voicemail on my Virgin line. I phoned 150 to set this up, only to be told that it was already set up on my line. I explained that I have telephoned my own number and it says that it has not been set up to accept messages.

I was then told to "hold on" whilst they looked into it - at which point I disappeared into a black hole three times, having to explain the whole thing again to a new person (with all the normal problems of the operator not understanding my account number, name etc....)

Is there not something simple that I can do to activate it from my phone rather than trying this soul destroying route again?

Thanks

Michelle

My advice is to get your own answerphone rather than use the VM offering. I changed as one couldnt set the number of rings long enough to give us a reasonable time for answering it.

Otherwise phone in the morning as soon after they open as possible and you will stand a good chance of geting a UK call centre.
