Vario II - can't answer calls

[Guest daveham]

I have a T-mobile Vario II. I had problems when receiving calls i.e pressing the answer button justs cuts people off. I can make calls with no problem and have a good signal.

I have had the phone replaced, but the same is happening on the new phone.

I have tried a hard reset with no joy, and there is no 3rd party software installed.

The phone fails to connect to incoming calls on about 50% of calls.

Anybody had similar problems?

Any thoughts on how to solve this?

The default ring time is pretty short. Its not just a case of the phone ringing out is it? The fact it happens across 2 handsets and after a hard reset would suggest it is system/carrier/operator.

Could it be a faulty SIM?

I have had the same problem, i think its more that the default ring time is very short. Anyone know how to change this ?

I've had the same, but I think it's just that by the time I've got to it and taken it out of its case, it's rung off. At least I hope that's what it is!

There is a way of setting this by dialing a certain phone number and editing the call settings. Don't know what it is off the top of my head but it must be on Modaco somewhere.

I know the number you mean, but you don't need this - go to settings - personal - phone - services - call forwarding and choose the "forward after" time.

Nice one Stug. I did have a poke around in those settings looking for a ring out time but my brain didn't equate call forwarding with forwarding to the answer phone!

Thanks for the info.

just in case people want the number to set this up it is:

**61*VOICEMAIL NUMBER*11*30#

ie I use spinvox (a voice to text/email voicemail convertor) so my command would be:

**61*02011337325*11*30#
