    Edilass, press 1 and hold it down. That should take you through to the voicemail. Make a note of the number. Should pop up on your recent calls list! PM it to me if you like and I'll ring it. Hopefully I'll be able to leave a message with you and it should tell me I'm through to number 07 blah blah blah! :think:

    You don't say how 'Old' your old sim is, but it is possible that the number has been taken back by Orange if it has not been used.
    Well life is harsh, hug me don't reject me.

    Just tried ringing the number that came up under recent calls and it tells me to enter my orange number and press the hash key :(

    Have you tried ringing the number from another phone?

    Edit: That number you are ringing is only your v.mail number, not your phone number.

    To get the phone number, ring it from another phone, go thorough to the voicemail and hopefully it will say "you are through to the voicemail of telephone number blah blah"!

    I'm not sure that would come through. That number is your v.mail number! Weird how mine works differently! :confused:

    I'm determined to find a way! :rotfl:

    Can you just not get another free sim? :p

    Just been through the drawer of sim cards and have 4 Orange ones, 2 Voda and goodness knows how many 02 BUT....

    I want to use this one because of the free texts but I'm suspecting that perhaps the number has now been cut off :(

    and no I don't think I'll dial the number you suggested tonight :)
