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

No...I understand...the point is I would like to set it up by calling the number, pressing the # key, entering the temporary pin code they sent and set it up that way...calling the voice mail number from the USA is too expensive and it would probably cost at least a 2 minute call...what they did wrong here is they sent everybody the same temporary pin number and are not allowing this...in the past you could set up UM voice mail by calling the UM number, pressing #, entering the last 4 digits of the PUK code as the temporary pin and setting it up...the current system was set up not to allow this.

Voipbuster shows the rate to UK Mobile as 18 eurocents. Am I looking in the wrong place?

Cost me almost 7 euro for a 3.5 minute call. Grrr...

I think we talking past each other -- one commenter was unclear what the German message said, I was just trying to clarify. I too would like to be able to setup voice mail remotely, but I remember I had to wait until got to Europe to do something (turn on call divert?) when I first got the Riiing SIM. I had the same problem with Virgin UK -- I ended spending about half my credit trying to get it setup from the States. It that case I needed to because the party I was meeting in London had no other way to get a message to me if he was delayed.

As for the Voipbuster rates -- I know the website lists more, I'm just reported what was deducted from my account. It may be that they don't realize (yet) that the IoJ numbers a mobiles.

Its funny -- I was checking my CallBackWorld call detail: When I was in Germany last month I used it to my T-D1 number and I was charged as a callback to a landline. Not complaining

I was able to configure a voicemail PIN from Canada, but I can't figure out how to get voicemail to actually work. Setting up call forwarding/diverts to 077 didn't work. Ideas? (Perhaps it has to be enabled from Europe.)

Now setup my Voicemail

Voicemail is only reached when the phone is off

When you do get through to leave a voicemail, you get cut off at the tone

Still a useless feature
