skype calls diverted to voicemail when S2 is switched off
in [UK Mobile]
|
From: divoch on 29 Dec 2009 10:23 I have installed Skype on my Skypephone S2. Then I found that calls to my Skype name are diverted to 3 Voicemail when my S2 is switched off. That happens even when my Skype account is active on PC! On PC I get a very short ring (not long enough to respond) and then a call gets diverted. This is quite unacceptable because if i had my mobile phone off I could not receive any Skype calls anywhere else. Has anyone come across this? I have asked 3 support to disable the divert , they claimed that they have done it but it still gets diverted. Best regards divoch

Then you'll be able to manually control the divert, and with a bit of luck by using GSM codes also the length of ring.

Using the terminology of the handset, the "call forwarding" to voicemail has been deactivated. However, it is shame that Skype calls cannot be treated differently to other calls. For the reasons explained above I would have preferred to remove auto divert only for Skype calls but keep diverts to voicemail for all "normal" calls . The desired effect [ of not diverting Skype to voicemail when the phone is switched off] could be achieved, I believe, if I was automatically logged out of the Skype when the mobile is turned off and again automatically logged in when mobile is turned on. "Normal" calls would not be affected, i.e. they would go to the voicemail, if divert was not removed. divoch

I notice that at the moment #21# gives an acknowledgement that FAX call diverts have been deactivated (whatever that means) -- Graham. %Profound_observation%
