I don't diddle so I have visual voicemail Ooh. I'm using a illegitimately-unlocked O2 3GS on Vodafone, and I've just noticed that my VV button now says "voicemail" and dials 121 for me. It's not Visual Voicemail though (which looks like <http://www.mobileguerilla.com/images/iphone-visual-voicemail.jpg>), it just dials 121. Before, it used to say "service not supported" or some such when pressed. Which was true. This change may be down to me applying 3.1.3 recently, and it now recognises Vodafone as a legit carrier. Cheers - Jaimie -- A problem shared is a problem halved, so is your problem really yours or just half of someone else's?

I find it completely invaluable. In brief, it shows your voicemails as a selectable list, like emails. Means you can see who they're from and listen in any order, keep some for later and easily delete the rest, etc, without navigating the torturous audio menus of standard voicemail. Undoubtedly not of value to everyone (not even to many) but I'd happily pay more than £200 for the feature. -z- -- email: nettid1 at fastmail dot fm
