No Answer Phone Speed Dial

[Guest DenBoy]

Hi All

I have the Orange SPV C500

Unable to speed dial my Answer phone using the pre-defined/reseverd key 1.

If you use the speed dial facility, the phone tries to make a call and reconises that its the answer phone it's trying to call. However there is no number in the dial box all i get is the + sign.

Tried calling 123 and have set a new speed dial for the answer phone using key 2 etc... phone works fine.

Spoke to Orange help and they said i needed to re-enter the answer phone number back into the speed dial.

However I am unable to Edit answer phone value. And when trying to setup a new contact called answer phone I am unable to use key 1 because it's reserved....

Please help i'm now scratching me head and if i carry on i'll bald by the end of the week.

:? :? :)

Without having a C500 at hand, have you looked in

SettingsTelephony (presuming it's the same or similar layout.

I'm having exactly the same problem. Check in Settings/Phone/Call Options - where there was no Answer Phone number specified. I filled this in, and it makes no difference. I am stuck with the '1' key being useless as a speed dial key. This is bugging me now.

Same problem here, going to Orange shop today will ask there.

Did you get a replacement SIM when you had your new phone?

Just wondering if the problem is SIM related rather than phone :?

As far as I am aware the phone reads the SIM to get the

answerphone number.

Hi All

May have solved the problem... :idea:

This is assuming your on Orange.

Leading on from what I. C. Monsters was saying i did the following:

>Start

>Settings

>Phone

>Call Options

and entered in Voice Mail Number:

07973100123 or 123

I deleted the +44 before the number because with this in front all i kept getting was a dial tone.

The Voice Mail Number is the number used by the reserved key 1.

Hope it helps

DenBoy, you've cracked it :) . I changed mine to just 123, and now it works.

Many thanks to you all,
