Is this still a problem with the Three SIM running in say a 3G Nokia? Or with other networks or phones, e.g. Vodaphone with a Nokia running Skype, is this still a problem? Or maybe its just the S2 that has the functions of integrated they interfere with each other? CJB In whch case then its time to ditch Three and the S2 as cr&p.

I can confirm this. I had to call more than once before they actually done it > Once that is done can you then switch the voicemail divert on and off as > required? I am assuming that I can but I have not tested it yet. (I am scared that I succeed to undo cancel diverts but will not be able to cancel them again myself and will have to endure talking to customer service) divoch

Well, treated the same as each other, yes. > Is this still a problem with the Three SIM running in say a 3G Nokia? > > Or with other networks or phones, e.g. Vodaphone with a Nokia running > Skype, is this still a problem? > > Or maybe its just the S2 that has the functions of integrated they > interfere with each other? But phones running Skype on other mobile operating systems will just use a data connection, there is no concept that I can see of diverting this to voicmail or anywhere else. AIUI 3 Skype calls are handled as special voice calls, not data, (although of course it's all data really) > In whch case then its time to ditch Three and the S2 as cr&p. You do what you feel is right Chris. -- Graham. %Profound_observation%

Exactly, not good at all.* I cannot use voicemail > Is this still a problem with the Three SIM running in say a 3G Nokia? I am not sure as I did not manage to get Skype installed on my SE K810i but I suspect this is the system rather than phone related problem > Or with other networks or phones, e.g. Vodaphone with a Nokia running > Skype, is this still a problem? I am guessing but I suspect not because you would be running Skype over the Internet as if it was PC > Or maybe its just the S2 that has the functions of integrated they > interfere with each other? Cannot test it but as I said above I suspect it is the network problem *the only way round this I could see, but very clumsy one, is not to cancel diverts but sign out of Skype on S2 every time before turning S2 off and also if I sit by the PC where I want to receive Skype (with video) . I would have to remember to log in to Skype on S2 every time I shall be away from my PC. divoch |
