Nokia :: Built In Voicemail To Avoid Carrier Charges?
Feb 20, 2010
Hi! Does anyone know of a way to get voicemail recorded directly on the phone? Say somebody calls you and your phone is on but you don't answer, the phone records the message to the memory? I know my old Sanyo phone could do it, but can the Nokia 6275i or any phone for that matter? Thanks!
I am off to Spain for a couple of weeks. I would like to use my phone abroad but not the internet through the data or anything else that uses the data There is free wifi at the Hotel so I just want to use that. How do I avoid any additional charges other than for phone calls. Are there specific settings that I need to change temporarily
So I have an unlocked iPhone 4S on a carrier that doesn't sell the iPhone, nor supports Visual Voicemail.
When you get your unlocked 4S, the Visual Voicemail box shows "Cannot Connect to Voicemail". The result...Voicemail works the traditional way. You get an audio alert and a bubble appears on your phone icon. You call and check your messages. Fine. All is well.
The problem is this...Whenever you get an iOS update, Apple forces Visual Voicemail into active mode. Suddenly, the screen that said "Cannot Connect to Voicemail" previously looks like it's a normal functioning Visual Voicemail box.
Thing is..it isn't.From now on, you will no longer receive audible voicemail notifications. Occasionally the little red bubble will appear and quickly disappear, and that's it. You have voicemail, but you're not properly notified of it. And Visual Voicemail just sits there and looks pretty. There's nothing displayed indicating you have voicemail. You actually have to dial voicemail and check to see if there are messages. Not to mention the Visual Voicemail interface is completely useless. It can't show you your messages, and you can't check messages from it?
Sure you can look at your missed calls and dial up voicemail to see if anybody left a message, but that's (1) - dumb, and (2) - impractical for users who have their phones forwarding to voicemail full-time, who might have their phones shut off for whatever reason, or who are out of signal range for a period of time.So far the only one I've found that works is to get a SIM exchange. New SIM, Visual Voicemail goes back to "Cannot Connect". So I'm guessing the update writes something to the SIM
This issue has been brought up several times in the forums previously but not explained very well and the generic response seems to be "contact your carrier and shut off your mailbox"This happened with both the 5.0.1 and the 5.1 updates.
I have a e72, and I'm trying to avoid some programs from loading in boot stage, since I see that when booting the system has 53MB or RAM, but then it's decreasing to 40MB because some programs are opening.
For most of programs, even if I disable "AutoStart" it would still load and close, which is taking RAM!!!I'm trying a way to edit manually the "startup list" as I would do in Windows by entering msconfig...
I've tried to clear the folders C:Private101f875a and C:Private100059C9 which contains both a kind of a startup list, but programs are still starting up!! And I have no idea where is that STARTING LIST?
Most of the time my screen is locked and apparently when locked Nokia Lumia 710 disconnects the WiFi. Is it possible to change this, because otherwise I don't receive notifications if I have my 3G off.
Couldn't find anything answering this directly. I've just bought a 5320 on a payg tariff. If use GPS with assisted GPS and/or network-based GPS enabled will I incur any charges?
I'm having trouble using the GPS function w/o a data plan. I have set A-GPS off but I still seem to be flowing data and getting charged for it.My network is USA AT&T and I have an unlocked phone.I need help soon please as I need to use this in Alaska next week.
Have a Nokia 5230 with GPS. Am currently in Australia (live in New Zealand) for a couple of weeks and am just a little concerned now that the GPS may be getting some assistance from the local cellular network and don’t want to get home and find a Vodafone bill that equals the current deficit of Great Britain! When turn on Maps a warning comes up "Connection to network may be more costly when out of home network. In Position methods have turned off Network based but there is still an option called Assisted GPS “it wont work with this turned off” what is it does anyone know? Still have Integrated GPS selected but still needs that Assisted GPS for the GPS to work.
My Nokia N97 use to be in perfect condition and would charge every time i plug it in. However, lately whenever I plug it in, it charges and then it stops and says "Unplug charger from power supply to save energy" and then it says "Not Charging" and then it charges again and then it doesn't. The light near the charging slot always turn on and off multiple times. I have to play around with the charger and plug it in and out multiple times to get it to work. When it finally starts to charge, it takes extremely long to charge. It used to charge quick but now it take hours. Also, if it is charging, and I accidently touch the phone or the cord, it will immediately stop charging. Then I have to play around with the cord again so it will charge.
I was using my x6 when the battery died, now after charging it, it wont switch on?If i push the power button, nothin happens atall?If i plug in the charger the phone lights up and the displays the nokia logo, it also responds to touches.Any advise or help please?I have tried a hard reset (green, red, camera and power buttons) but it doesnt switch on this is the problem?
My n97 will charge and the screen be on the white nokia charging screen.. but when i press the power button on top, nothing happens. I don't understand why this is happening at all.
I downloaded a game a couple of months ago and the purchase was successful. However, I'm still being charged for the game every month. The game info didn't indicate any type of subscription to the product. I'm really tired of being charged every few weeks for the game that I supposedly already purchased and I already send them an email trying to get an answer but I haven't gotten a response yet.
i find it weird that the device sells telling the market that N79 has a built-in GPS receiver (adding to the price of the device). but in order to use it, it would have to be bought separately. what's the point of selling a device that comes with a certain feature when that feature can't be used as is.?or am i mistaken and that it is actually free.
When in 'My Position' mode, the map moves to follow you as you move, however, it does not rotate. Is this due to the 5800's lack of a built in compass? If not, how can I enable this? Pressing the compass icon achieves nothing. Is there a way to manually rotate the map? Again, messing about with the compass icon has no yieled results.In navigation mode, when a route has been set, your current speed is shown, along with warnings when you go too fast, along with speed camera information. Is there anyway to activate these features without setting a route? I'd like these features when I'm out on a random drive, and have not decided a destination. E.g. having them in 'My Position' mode.Also, I do not have a data package, and so have A-GPS disabled, in Locations -> Positioning settings under applications, and have only integrated GPS activated. I've been wondering whether there is a charge for Network Positioning though? It seems as if all it does it find the mast you're connected to.
I'm experiencing a problem with the built-in e-mail client (NOT nokia e-mail) on my Nokia X6. When I try to Connect to my Gmail-Inbox (IMAP), it begins to trigger a connection. But just when it is connected the phone disconnects and the two arrows on the tab disappear.Does any one have the same problem? Nokia E-Mail isn't a suitable alternative for me.
My cellphone E63 does not have any in built games.However other nokia models are having at least 1 in built game.I want to use any game of those for my cell.I have downloaded some games from OVI. But all games give me pop ups during the game and those games are not worth playing. I mean nokia games quality is high. kindly provide me some free games with no popups inside.
I've just purchased a new phone case which has a magnetic catch for my N97. I'm not sure if anyone else has this problem, but when I attempt to use the compass in Nokia maps with my phone in it's case, it appears that the compass doesn't go green after attempting to calibrate it many times, but rather stays red. When I take it out of the case it is able to work after hardly any attempts at calibrating, I think it may be due to the case which has a magnet in it, I've also heard that it can cause the phone to think the back camera is open, if that makes sense, although I haven't encountered this problem yet. I was wondering if there may be long-term damage.
I really miss the built in smileys in sms.. And the sms/mms counter? :/ Is there any way to get the counter back, or example on softwares i can donwload?
Why there is not any belt carrier for nokia n900 in the shops? I have been searching probably everywhere in London and nothing , if there is new model from any other company then there is even case on the stock. Why is that?
I just received a SIM-free Lumia 820 delivered from Germany.
When first switched on, it displays what I assume is a Vodaphone splash screen of some sort. This appears before the NOKIA logo (which in turn appears before the blue Windows Phone 8 splash screen).
My current phone (Lumia 800) came from Italy and the about page shows that the original carrier was WIND, but in everyday use, there is no visible consequence.
On the 820, there seems to be some kind of carrier branding embedded deep into the phone. On the 'Extras + info' page of settings, in the additional info block, it says Mobile Operator Name VOD-DE, which is presumably Vodaphone Germany.
I tried re-setting the phone completely, but this behaviour remains. Can I do anything to get rid of this pre-boot splash screen? It's not a really big deal, but this kind of stuff irritates me beyond reason.
Has anyone returned their phone to Best Buy and avoided the restocking fee a buddy is looking todo this but I wasn't sure bc he sensor issue, blurs on his photos with blue boxes and antenna issue even with a 3/4 case it still drops calls.
