This issue is concerning the G1 phone.
I recently downloaded an app named, Visual VoiceMail. Its supposed to be somekind of interactive list of all the voicemail I recieve, where I can interact and organize by hand on touch screen compared to calling my voicemail and deleting or saving any of my messages by touchtone.
In order for this app to work I must fill out a free registration form that includes my telephone number.
My issue is, Im not sure if they want the telephone number of my phone (I assume they do) or my voicemail telephone number. Neither phone numbers worked.
I cant figure out why either of these numbers wont work for the registration. Every time I enter in a number and try to sumbit I recieve a notice that says, "!! Registration Failed, Unable to determine this devices phone number."
I went to settings, about phone, my phone number. There was no number listed under 'my phone number' and i dont know why that is.
If anyone has any information on how i can make this app work, or how to fix the status of 'my phone number' so it does have an actual phone number (at this moment there isnt an option to edit 'my phone number') it would be greatly appreciated. thank you.
Okay, we have times when we want to hide our caller's ID, we don't want our number to be noticed by the call receiving party! Yet it is so much to go through, first hitting the phone button, clicking the options, selecting caller ID, hitting the get settings, and now select provide my caller ID to "NO ONE". Took me like forever, and now I have to select the person's number from the phone book, if I still remember who I was trying to call! LOL
So I know there got to be a way!, Create a Caller ID's toggle, hit it to show or hide caller ID, simply and then select the number you want to dial and you can hide your caller ID.
Anything like that? I know I used to have the simmon's phone back in the days, when I needed to hide a caller's ID, I would just hold the 8 key and it would hide the caller's ID. Now the toggle was assigned to the 8# key, but I think if that is too much to do, why not just have a toggle, just as we have it for the bluetooth or other phone's options.
Is it possible?
Dial *67 and your # not a good enough work around? You can always add *67 to specific #'s you call regularly to not see your callerid.
there is also an option to hide your # when calling someone who is not in your address book
hi, at least in europe you can use this codes to switch the 'CLIR' function of your mobile:
*31# submits your number to the called party on for all calls.
#31# submits your number to the called party off for all calls.
*#31# show the current 'CLIR' state
*31#number to call submits your number to the called party on only for the next call.
#31#number to call submits your number to the called party off only for the next call.
maybe this works for your network also.
Thanks, *67 could be an easy way...but supposed you have a phone number on your PhoneBOOK that just has to be blocked once? And you are driving? and you don't have a pen...some people here are just stupid...I already know that...I am looking for a CALLER ID TOGGLE, if you don't know anything just don't be smart and post anything.
Anyone else yave this problem? On some stored numbers in my contacts when i click on the person it dials an m0111 befoe the regular number. But when i look at the contact before i press call the correct regular number is there. Its only when i hit call it tacks that on. The contacts are verizon numbers also. Ok the M is normal as it means mobile number that is being called. The last 1 in the 0111 is the start of the area code. Ex 1-201-52*-****. I called the verizon and they said it is trying to dial international for some reason....they want me to hard reset i said no im not doing that yet.
Looking at my recent calls i can see the contacts name,number the date and sometimes location also i see a 5 digit number. in my case its always 52003 on all calls. this number also shows up when someone is calling. what is this about?
I'm trying to set up my voicemail and although I was successful, I did run into a few problems.
1st problem: I tested my voicemail by calling my cellphone from a landline. I was able to leave a message and I was able to hear the message when I checked my voicemail. After listening to my message, I tap the star key and then I get a message on my P7P that says "Visual voicemail isn't working" and that I should "Call voicemail to finish setting it up". What is "visual voicemail?
Furthermore the P7P states, "Saved voicemails (0)---->" even though I did save my message. If I tap the ">" that's to the right of the "Saved voicemails..." I get a "Saved Voicemails" screen that says "You don't have any voicemail messages yet." I don't know why these messages are appearing. What should I do?
2nd problem: When I'm asked to enter my password I press the Keyboard symbol but I can't see the full number pad without fiddling around with it. It does eventually appear. How do I get rid of whatever keeps blocking the full number pad?
3rd problem: How do I get rid of the little dot indication that's at 1 o'clock on my phone app icon?

Voice mail is carrier-related, not device-related. So the first question is, who is your carrier?
Second, I find it hard to believe there are people who don't know what Visual Voicemail is. That is an app that is set up through your carrier that transcribes your voice mails into text and is accessible in your dialer or the VM app itself so you don't have to call your VM, you read and manage it through the app
Here's what I do for easy access to voicemail...been doing it for years.
I create a new contact and name it AaaaVoicemail. All the A's make sure it stays at the top of the alphabetical list.
Then for the phone number I use the default voicemail number supplied by your carrier followed by TWO commas and the 4 digit passcode with NO SPACES and ending with the #.
Here is a generic non-functional example of what it looks like: 18056377356,,9999#
The commas are for a short delay between the phone number and the passcode.
One comma may be enough but I find that 2 commas works best.
Then all you have to do is call this "new" contact and it inputs your passcode for you automatically.
Or you can just bring up the phone dialer and hold the 1.
PS. If you are managing your cellphone voicemail from a landline or another phone. Michael Jordan will tell you, "Stop it, Get some help"
@jaseman-
When I tried to edit my voicemail number I ran into more problems. Here's what I did:
I tapped my voicemail number and on the resulting screen I tapped the Edit icon at the top right of the screen. That brought up the contact info edit screen with the voicemail number.
I tapped the number. The cursor appeared at the end of it and the keypad appeared below it. But there was no comma on the keypad that I could tap, so I couldn't add the commas and my password (which, by the way, has to be 7 digits on my P7P).
How do I then add the 2 commas if they're not on the keypad???

My carrier is Consumer Cellular.
I thought Visual Voicemail was what one used if one wanted to send a live, moving message. I didn't think that "visual" meant the voicemail would be translated into text, since the P7P has a voice-to-text option already installed.

Without editing the actual voicemail number, just follow the guys instructions - [note down or copy the original voicemail number] create a new contact and use the name 'AaVoicemail' (Aa so that the number is always at the top of your contacts list). Then enter the voicemail number followed by 2 commas and your pin/password. If you still don't have the comma option, try using Truephone Dialer and Contacts... See screenshot, it has comma option. OR, using the full keyboard in any text environment (so that commas are available) type out the number, commas and pin as you want it, then select and copy that text. Then create the new contact as described by previous guy or above and when it comes to entering the number just paste in the text you copied.
Don't think there's any other way to explain in more plain terms with every step...

Well you live and learn, I've never heard of it lol
@reg66
But I can only see the bottom part of the keypad and I cannot find any way to get rid of the text that's covering the top part. Please see Problem #2. Any ideas?

I would argue the complete opposite. 4 providers in total offer it here in the UK, 3 MNOs and 1 MVNO. That's it.

Sure, a lot of it depends on your locality and carrier.
But, it's been around going on 20+ years now, and it is (or was, I suppose) a VERY highly requested feature, for quite some time. Many carriers in the US, or perhaps a couple, wouldn't provide the service, not for a techncal reason, but mostly because you weren't buying a phone from them.
I suspect the same is the case in the UK, to some extent?
