Have only had my Xda11s for a week and am very pleased with it except for voicemail notification.

I like to get straight back to customers who leave voicemails, but unlike my old Nokia phone which used to leave both a text message AND phone me back several times, my Xda11s has only been leaving text messages which if I am driving, I do not always notice.

I have been into the 901 options and selected "Voice notification" now I get nothing back at all to tell me somebody has left a message (tried it by leaving a message myself).

Any one have any bright ideas why this is or how I can get both a text message and a phone call back from 901 please?

Sorry to answer myself, but having left a second messgae to myself, voicemail did phone back so perhaps it takes 5 or 10 minutes to activate itself.

No text message though, so I presume you can only have one or the other with O2 on Xda's?

Does anybody know if you can have both?

I'm no expert as I don't use voice-mail, but such features are network dependant. In other words, it's the network (O2 or whoever) that calls you back or sends a text, not the phone. The phone merely allows you to change the settings without calling your network provider. If it isn't allowing you to set it up as you wish, you have two options.

One, read your network guide where there will be a list of commands you can use via your phone to change settings (often in the form *# Number number #) or

Two, phone your network provider and ask someone to set up your account to do this for you.
