Can't pick up voicemail?

Anonymous
Not applicable

I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini, haven't had it long, and I got a voicemail today.

When I dial 121 it says "conditional call forwarding activated", I'm met with one extended tone, and then it cuts off. I've tried typing my pass key, and it does nothing.

I really need to pick this voicemail up because it's from a person I'm meeting with tomorrow.

It's not set up correctly for O2.

Open the phone dial key pad, then press Menu >Call settings. Look for Voicemail Number and touch to open. Remove 121 and enter 901. Press "Done" and the phone will always dial 901 from now on.

I bought it from ASDA, it was unlocked, but it did come with a Vodafone SIM card! I guess I had a total memory lapse! tongue
