I have had this phone for a few months and have adjusted to many things, but I am also fighting a few too. I do like the iPhone, don't get me wrong, but some things are just blocked by apple or confusing or just a hassle since Im with verizon. We all know Verizon is newer to iPhone. My main issue now is voicemail. I started using google voicemail since, the voicemail on the phone just wouldn't work. I'd like to use the one on the phone, especially since i think it might be why my phone rings 1 time for every 4 rings on the callers side. Is there something special i should of done to set up my voicemail?
I don't really have a fix for your problem but I have an alternative solution.
YouMail. It is truly awesome...and free.
Sign up, make an account at youmail.com.
Open the AppStore on your phone and download the YouMail app.
It is just awesome.
Since I'm jailbroken , I just removed the Voicemail tab in my phone app.
You can have visual voicemail over wifi and 3G.
You get your voice mail instantly after a person leaves one.
And you can simply call your own phone number to to listen to your voicemail that way.
I just saved my own phone number in my contacts as "Voicemail".
Once you download the app, open it, sign in, the. A contact will automatically added to your contact list called "Activate YouMail". Call that number, it will beep then hang up...and YouMail is setup.
Can set custom greetings for certain contacts.
I have mine set to ignore blocked callers.
I have it set so when a person blocks there number before calling me the greeting says "sorry, the person you re calling does not except blocked callers. Please hang up, unblock your number and try again".
I love it.lol.
