    You won't 'wreck' your phone by dialling a number don't worry...

    type in *#61# and press dial. Hopefully it will show you your voicemail number, let's say it's +447890123456 (alternatively you could call up the network and ask if it doesn't show, but it works fine for me).

    Then type in **61*+447890123456*30# and press the dial button. That's it. 30 seconds of ringing before it goes to voicemail.
    The thanks button is here to the right. If you find a post saves you money, gives you useful information, or you agree with it, take a second to thank the poster! :)

    Thanks for your understanding and patience, i just dont wanna wreck my phone.

    Set: **61*destination*nn#[SEND]
    Cancel: ##61#[SEND]
    Query: *#61#[SEND]

    Which code do i type in and is my number the destination number? (is it just the first code i use?)

    It won't "wreck your phone"!

    Read post #2 again, which explains what you need to enter.

    Use the first code:

    **61* destination *30# [SEND] where the destination number is found by using the Query command:

    *#61# [SEND]

    Could be there's a network problem! :) Sorry, dunno what to suggest. Did the code to get the voicemail number work in the first place?
