Calls to this number are barred

[chrispy1]

If this question has been answered before I’m sorry I’ve had a search but can’t find anything.

I’ve using a HTC Touch which was on Orange, I’ve unlocked it and now use Virgin.
The problem is when I try to get my voice mail all I get is the message “calls to this number are barred”. This is annoying as this is one of the reason I prefer Virgin you don’t get charged for them.
Is this a normal thing when you unlock a phone from Orange or is there something staring me in the face that I have missed.:rolleyes:

Can anyone help please?

it may still be calling the orange voicemail by the sounds of it, check the voicemail number

i moved from orange to Vodafone and then to O2, and have never had that problem,

I just had this problem moving to a SonyEricsson Xperia X1 on Virgin Mobile UK.

My voicemail access number was +44-051-<mynumber>.

Turns out that the phone dialer was taking out the '0' from the dialing string and I'd get the "calls to this number are barred" message.

After trying a whole bunch of different ROMS and spending quite some time on the phone to the Virgin support staff, I was nowhere. Eventual solution was to add an extra 0 and dialling +44-0051-<mynumber> - the phone dialer only takes out one '0'.

Hope this helps some other frustrated soul.
