UM+ voicemail is now up

At least until you call 077 to set it up. That will cost a bundle to do from here!

Just received this...

Got the same newsletter.

Is there any OTHER way? With some services you can dial your mobile and press asterisk or hash and get in.

And what if I wait until next summer when I return to Europe where rates are more reasonable?

The same point I was going to make.....every other UM sim card I've had, you ring the number and press # to personalize with the temporary pin they provided....it's damn expensive to call from the USA......

Just called my number and got VM or well an announcement in another language. I think it's VM though.

MATHA531 · 02-10-2007, 20:00

The language is German and from the little (very little I might add) German I understand it is saying this is the mailbox and then repeats the number and basically says, I think, that you are unavailable and to call back later.....pressing either * or # does no good; as they said you will have to call to activate voice mail from your handset and it does not seem possible to personalize the thing by calling the number and using the temporary password they put on the sim card carrier.

Hmmm vm might well be enabled but my sim appears to have deregistered itself. What with that and my IOM going under it is not a good day

I called 070 to set the voicemail mailbox up. Got a message in German, asks you to press 2 for English.
Then was asked to choose a pin and enter it, followed by the hash key. All seemed straight forward once you had got the prompts speaking in English (-:

The initial message is in german. That will probably still make it difficult for those of us that do not know any german to continue. Do not plan on doing it from here anyway.

and again, that's fine but it costs an arm and a leg to call vm from North America so discrimination against North Americans again.

It says that the voice mail box has not been setup so you can't leave a message.

The good news is my call using VoipBuster only cost €.10
