Did a quick search and cant seem to find what the number is for FIDO voicemail.
When i try to get into my voice mail it asks me for an access code or something?
Im currently on an iphone 3gs plan with fido. Just bought a nexus S from koodo since its 75$ cheaper then fido
If someone knows the number can you please post it up?
Thanks.
I'm on Fido as well and I haven't gotten around to setting this up yet. Ill call them tomorrow and ask. Will post back when I get an answer.
fido VM #:
1-604-618-1123
this is the number found in my phone automatically so it should work for you
i threw that number into the VW settings, i also tried dialing it straight up but when it answers it asks me for an access code.
Any ideas?
from my understanding that number is used for accessing fido VM when you dont use a fido exclusive handset. It will ask you for your access PIN, something that you setup while you initialized your VM service. Theres really no other way to access VM otherwise unless you have an iphone with virtual VM.
I'm with Fido (Vancouver, BC). The number that I have for VM is 1-778-317-5607
If it asks for an access code it means the VM service was set up at some point. If you call Fido (#611 from handset). They can help you reset it so you can input a new access code.
the voicemail # is your own phone number when dialed from your device.
To test it, try dialing your own number manually on the phone to see if you get in.
If it worked, go into your phone status and make sure it shows your phone number listed there. If it's not you will need to call Fido (Not from your cell phone) to have your SIM card re-pushed. Once the phone number shows up, voicemail will work fine.

I paid a non-corporate MetroPCS store to flash 4 Sprint CDMA Hero's to MetroPCS and add the ESN's into the system, I walked out with 4 working phones.
After having the phones for a while, I was playing around with one of them as I was learning how to install ROM's and such and in the process the phone somehow got set back to its like new state.. as in original phone number, all Metro info was gone, including MMS and Internet. If I tried to place a call I got the standard Sprint "your account can not be validated" recording.
After playing around for a couple of days I can place a call to 611 (Metro CS) and it recognizes my phone and my account, however that's the only number I can call. If I try to call a regular number I get a strange recording asking me if I want to place a collect call.
I know in order to get my phone working I need the following information:
SID/NID pair I have the correct information entered into the phone
MDN/MIN pair <------ I suspect this is where my problem is.
I called Metro to get my MIN, its not the same as my phone number and its not the original phone number. I cannot figure out the correct place to enter this information.
I have tried in CDMA workshop, QPST tools and DFS CDMA tools. These programs can be very confusing with MIN's and True MIN's, the list goes on.
I have flashed my phone to and old stock Sprint 2.1 ROM (NFX) so that I could enter the programming codes and such. Link to the ROM

I am only concerned with getting voice working for now, I might be able to do the rest on my own.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Edited to add that I do have a MetroPCS prl file installed.
Edit 2 to add that this cant be done. When the phone was originally flashed the guy didnt use my phones MEID for whatever reason.. therefore the phone is not in the MetroPCS system. I tried to get the info from MetroPCS but no dice.
I will not go back to the same place to get it fixed.
I recently switched from my GS2 (AT&T) to an unlocked GS3 (Verizon), but I couldn't find an APN listing to match my service so I used HiAPN to backup the settings from the old phone and used the same app to apply them to the GS3. It is now not allowing me to make or recieve phone calls, or even access the 4G network on AT&T. It says I'm trying to make international phone calls when I dial out, when I answer calls no one can hear me, but I can still text. I have the phone set to GLOBAL, should I set it to GSM?
1st thing to do is set it to Global mode! 2nd if you google AT&T apn you will find one around that you can add and 3rd you should not save a received call(Edit it to put the 1 after the plus sign) or call back after receiving a call as it doesnt input the number 1 after + so it makes it +(zip code)
And this phone only gets EDGE on AT&T
I finally purchased a used Sprint S5 recently. My plan is to put the phone on the Boost Mobile Network. Boost Mobile stores are able to unlock my phone to Boost network, HOWEVER the MSL is needed. Well I'm sure you already know, Sprint is giving me a difficult time. A Sprint CS says the phone's ESN is clear to activate on Sprint, however due to "the way it was purchased" they could not unlock the phone (or give me the MSL) for other carriers. What do I do?

On way is to activate it on someone elses account for just 5 minutes or so. Will give you chance to make sure it works. Then reactive their own phone and you're done. Now have your friend check his email and they will have an email from sprint thanking them for activating the new phone. Look at the email.. It will show some of the device specifics like model number, phone number and also an activation code. The activation code is actually your msl. It's a standard email from Sprint whenever you activate or reactivate a phone from your PC.
So find a friend with a Sprint phone and make sure the account is in his (or her) name. Have them log into their Sprint account on a PC and once they're logged in, scroll down to the "About My Devices" section. In this section you will see is a dropdown box that says "manage my devices". Click the down arrow in the box and choose, "activate new phone". It will take to you to a very straight forward wizard to guide you thru it. Choose no to all the options that they offer and when you get to the part of the activation about resetting the phone prior to activation, don't worry about it. Just click thru the steps of demo window that pops up then close that window after the demo is done. Once you finish the demo and close the pop up window you can continue. Follow the prompts until you click the activate button and turn off the phones as per the message that pops up. When you turn on your phone it will be activated with a voice and data signal. The whole process takes less than 5 minutes. Now check your friends email for your msl and you're done. Then do the same thing again but choose your friends phone to activate (as the new phone). Also note you will need the id numbers under the battery or have them ahead of time.

Thank you for the response I appreciate it. I will definitely consider. Is there any other method besides one mentioned above? I was thinking more along the lines of an apk like "Get MSL" to acquire the lock code. I've been utilizing the search function on both XDA and Google, but it seems that any method using an APK or program is defunct due to the new Software upgrade. Does anyone know of any other way?
Google GTv3.1.5.apk and GTUpdate2_v3.1.8.apk by idone.apps . The "GT" stands for Galaxy Tools; It will internationally unlock you sim as well as give you your MSL, enable hotspot etc... I beleive it was taken off google play, just google the 2 apk files and you'll find them.
I bought a Tmo G2 on Swappa, the previous owner got Tmo to network unlock, so the phone is working fine on Ting, but the option to change the voicemail number is grayed out, stuck on the Tmo number +18056377456. I can call my Ting vm manually (dialing *123) but I'd like to change it so I can press & hold 1 like normal. Any suggestions? Haven't found anything on forum or google search.
So I bought the phone and a 35$ service card three days ago from Wal-Mart. Activated the phone around 3am that night. Phone hasnt worked once. No calling, texting or using data. Ive contacted ST CS numerous times with no help. Im told the same everytime. Dial *73 then turn off and back on, if that doesn't work repeat. Well it wont even let me dial * numbers. Pops up sim not registered, sim not provisioned, contact service provider. So whats what ive done. Yet they keep telling me my service and phone are active so they cant do anything. Ive seen a lot of people say to get an ATT sim and use that instead of the Verizon sim, and that will do the trick.
My phone number doesnt show up in settings. Network type doesnt. Cant edit or add or delete APN. PRL is blank in settings and no way to change it. Does anybody have any ideas or advice on what to do to fix all these issues???? I have 4 bars at all times but my service says 1x and yet i cant make calls or texts. Calls say im roaming and to buy a service card if I wanna make calls. Texts get stuck on sending then minutes later pop up they failed.

Are you certain that you activated the device correctly and entered the SIM card number correctly when you activated the device?
Give me an accurate and descriptive breakdown of the exact steps you took when you activated the device and SIM.
BTW, AT&T SIMs are for GSM devices, not CDMA devices, if your device is a Straight Talk device, your device is a CDMA device. I doubt an AT&T SIM will help.

I mean, I'm assuming I did everything right lol. I followed the steps the ST website took me thru. Phones brand new, never been activated. Brand new sim. I went to the website, chose activate, chose I have a ST phone, input my zip, input IMEI, input SIM #, input service pin, created my account, updated profile settings, restarted phone. The app says my service is active, the website says its active, ST CS says its active on their end. But I can't call or text or use data. My network type is 1xRTT. I have 4-5 bars at all times. When I try to call regular numbers, I get a "you are roaming, to place calls please purchase a service card" or something along those lines. When I try to call *73 like ST keeps telling me, it says sim not registered, sim not provisioned, contact service provider.
