My answer machine (voicemail) does not kick in and rings until it cuts off (about 30 seconds). Had the phone a month now and it works fine at the beginning, but when someone was ringing the phone it was lasting too long before voicemail kicked in. So we wanted to change it to 15 seconds for the voicemail to kick in. I entered in **61*123*15#. Then the message appeared it was successful. Since then, the answerphone has not worked. 

Been into Carphone Warehouse and they did everything they could do, but then said come in here and ask a support question as it a network issue and nothing is wrong with the phone or the phone settings.

Thanks,
Anthony

Could you try turning Voicemail off completely in your settings, then turning it back on to see if that shifts the problem at all?

Let us know if that kicks things in to gear.  If not, let us know and we’ll send a Private Message to have our Tech Team take a look for you.

I shortened the call ring time from the standard 30 seconds to 20. I used **61*123*20#. Voicemail is now not going to phone and rings off and goes dead

Hi @HelenR 

Please can you try turning off call forwarding by entering ##21# 

If no joy, please can you reset the ring time back to 30 seconds by dialing  **61*123*30# to see if this reverts back to the original ring time and voicemail.

Just to confirm @HelenR 

Have you tried this through the iD app settings turning on/off the voicemail?

Hi Moshin

 

i did try that loads but what has worked in the end was turning off wifi calling as it was linking to my iPad when working from home. I should say my lovely daughter after much searching found the answer
