No voicemail SMS messages any more...

---

Hi all,

This topic started in 'general' but would be better placed here. If anyone has any more input please reply here - I think this is currently the biggest problem with the out-the-box v1605.

I sent an email to HTC today and they told me there is no update...
This is still an issue

It apparently seems that the problem is only for Vodafone or Vodafone Group (SFR for example) users.

Any update on this issue ? This is really annoying....

Nothing I have heard yet. Apparently 242 mail notification works - but to sign up for this you have to get a code sent as SMS - and guess what - this SMS never turns up too!!!

I upgraded to the new HTC ROM but this has made no difference to the voicemail SMS issue

You can register at http://www.vodafone.net where you can set your alerts to be delivered by SMS. You need to enter your phone number for it to send a service SMS containing a passcode to, so you need to have your SIM a phone that you can get them on, ie not your v1605!! Once you've done that, you can put your SIM back into your v1605 and you'll then get SMS alerts for your voicemails and even the little answerphone icon in your top bar!!

I have finally taken this to the step of raising a technical ticket with Vodafone. After 3 days they came back to me saying it was definately the v1605 handset However, in order to try everything they are replacing my 5 year old SIM with a new one to see if that helps.

Hopefully this will at least solvev the problem of the vodafone,et registration SMS messsages not making it to my SIM no matter what phone it is on. At least then I can move to 242 instead....

as Matho indicates above, i have the v1605 as well as the Tytn and i have subscribed to 242 which now gives me voicemail text and icon.....

follow my thread indicated above, it's not the sim, it's the way the hermes variants handle the 'silent' sms texts that vodafone use for voicemail on their older 121 service

with 242 you can still even dial 121 from home or abroad and still pick up the same messages!! the voicemail icon and text service on 242 is much better than text or (annoying) dial every 3 seconds with vodafone 121

This is driving me mad - could not get the vodafone.net registration to work (it never delivers the autentication SMS) and my 121 has now also stopped 'alerting and delivering'. Vodafone sent me a new SIM but this has had no affect. I have tried the new SIM in a K750i but nothing. However, put my other (personal) vodafone SIM in my TyTN and I get the authentication SMS through straight away??? Could this be something to do with my main number being a business number and not a personal one?
