4s Voicemail

    When I used access the Voicemail tab or Visual Voicemail as its called on my 4s when I was with Vodafone it used automatically call my voicemail for me which was cool.

    I changed over to 48 the other day and now it has stopped working. It now says cannot connect to Voicemail. The phone was bought sim free to begin with so its not some sort of Vodafone setting.

    Anyone know a fix?

    My voicemail is 171 so would it be *5005*86*171# ?

    Ok Guil I tried the above and no luck.

    I will try your other suggestion

    So *5005*86*08x 5 1234567#

    I am specifically putting in spaces in the above?

    Maybe you should just email them (48).

    Sorry, for the constant messages, if you know anyone on 48 who does have it working, ask them to dial *#5005*86# to check what number they dial.

    Then follow the instructions I wrote above and plug that number into the **5005*86*put number here#

    Yes I have the actual 48 voicemail set-up and working fine and can get voicemail messages by dialling 171 as per normal.

    I emailed 48 and explained the situation, the rep simply copied and pasted the voicemail set-up that I had already and got working and advised try that even though I stated I had that part working. Nothing about the Visual Voicemail from their end, I had specifically asked if my voicemail account had some sort of account number I might need but they didn't mention it. Maybe it just isn't supported on their network or they simply don't know either.

    Yep brophs tried **5005*86*171# and I always press call and the screen kinda blinks for a split sec but it still hasn't connected.

    My friend has a 4s and is on Meteor and it works for him. I tried that code just out of interest to see what it displayed and pressed call, the screen flashed but that was it no code, nothing.

    Starting to think maybe Apple changed the codes for the 4s and 5.

    That's because you have no voicemail number saved. If you did it would display the number last used when accessing voicemail.

    Out of ideas, I'm afraid. I suspect the fact the codes don't work mean that 48's carrier file has disabled changing that setting. The best bet might just be to keep on badgering them.

    Apparently some people have got it working by resetting and setting it up as a new iPhone and it worked. Strangely they also encountered this issue after having changed providers. I may give that a whirl when I change over to Tesco mobile in the coming months.

    Actually in doing that does it mean I'd have to get a new Apple ID and not be able to sync any old data from the iCloud?
