So I have the 3.2, which is pretty recent I suppose. I have the P4000 with Telus.
I noticed that when I want to dial 611 (to reach telus) it actually dials a previous number in my history that starts with a 61..
I'm in Ottawa so our area code is 613.
I believe this is a bug as I used to be able to call out 611 from the OEM rom.
Thanks guys

Sounds like Smart Dialing is interfering. Try disabling Smart Dialing and see if you can get through. I have to do that occasionally for a similar situation. You can also try other dialers.
Menu -> Smart Dialing Options -> Enable Smart Dialing
Happens to me all the time when accessing EPST; it's because of the smart dialing. When you dial the number, just press up on the navigation pad, then send the number. That will resign the number to what you are actually dialing, as opposed to the number that smart dialing assumes you are trying to input.
Thanks dudes
Get the etphone.dll for smartdialing and a new dialer. Works better than the stock smartdialer and never dials the wrong number.

XDA (Siemens SX56) would complain service code must enter from the keypad. We have serveral call forward numbers in the contact list that we use regularly. Every time, we try to use MS Voice Command to dial those call forwarding number, it would complain and would not proceed with the action. Any ideas? work around would be greatly appreciate!
Example, for Rogers AT&T in Canada, *21*<phone number>#, will call divert (forward) the mobile number to another number.
I have the same problem on Rogers ATT with XDA II... not sure what causing it. Anybody? Any ideas?
This is a Microsoft issue. They are aware of it, and it is on their list of things to fix. Just not that high up the list.
:roll:
Speed dial seems to the only way to do gsm service code
Speed dial is the only way to get call forwarding working. However, MS Voice Command does not seem to allow speed dial a number.
Does Speed-Dial work for you?
Like others, if I store a *21* sequence as a contact, and then use this to establish a speed-dial entry, I get the "must use phone keypad" error message.
I haven't been able to directly store a number as a speed-dial. "New" only lets me select something from contacts, and "Edit" only lets me change the name and speed-dial location, not the dial string.
Have you actually been able to store a *21* string directly into a speed-dial and have it work properly? If so, can you tell me how?
Thanks
Does anyone know if there's a way to do automatic prepend on the GSM Hero? I'm in Canada with the Telus Hero. My issue is that if I dial a 10-digit number (aka 905-555-1234,) the call goes through. However, dialing 1-905-555-1234 will give me a busy signal. Putting a "+" in front makes it work, ie. +1-905-555-1234. This wouldn't be an issue, except that when calls come in, the history shows it in the 1-905-555-1234 format, so if I try and click the call history to call someone back, it doesn't work. I'd like to automatically add the "+" sign to the beginning of any number dialed. Anyone?
Also, I've got Telus looking into the matter, but since I've got a custom ROM on there (Modoco) I'm thinking it could be the phone, since these ROMs are primarily customized and tested on European numbers.
Bump, I'd like to know how to automaticly prepend 1 in front of all the #'s, for long distance calls.
Thanks
when making calls i need the keypad to enter numerical choices for voice prompts. however my keypad is not making that 'beep' sound that the prompt listens for. so the call does not progress.
what can i do to use the keypad for those calls that require numerical inputs for voice prompts?

you don't need any beep sounds in order to control numerical choices, just press the digits and it works.

i tried it on a different phone number and the keypad does work.
it was only on that phone number which probably relied on keypad sounds to activate the prompts.
the annoying thing is that was the phone number of my cell service provider which i had to reach!

This doesn't make sense, something else is wrong. The digits you press during the call to a landline (without any beep in your end) causes the correct beep sound to be generated by the mobile network and sent to the other end of the call.
I just tested this myself by calling my home number to be sure I wasn't lying
I think you are searching for the wrong solution to your problem.
EDIT: here is the ETSI spec describing how it works if you like specifications

there must be something wrong with my cellphone providers support prompts.
i tested with my bank and 2 other credit cards and the keypad does register input with them.
it is only with that one number that i am having issues on.
When I long press the #1 key on the dialpad, it dials the AT&T system voicemail number. I am using Google Voice for my voicemail services, and I would like to be able to call in to GV using the #1 key, to access my account, but can't seem to find any way to change the phone number assignment for that key. Is it possible to change it, and if so, how? Thanks.
Don't know if its this easy on yours but on my I9100 you go in to 'settings', then 'call', then at the bottom 'voicemail'.
That's how I change my voicemail number anyway

Thanks for the reply. When I go there, I have two options: Voicemail number (which has my Google Voice number), and Sign out. When I press on Voicemail number, I get an error message "Error-forwarding number change failed." Can't do anything else.
BTW, my phone is an I727 Galaxy S2 Skyrocket, but I thought I would ask anyway. Thanks.
First off you should have started with stating a phone model that is essentially operator phone (only rogers and att) so who knows what's locked or not. Second make sure your operator supports gsm standard codes and has call forwarding option. Don't have att so iono? Third, your phone has its own subforum so best ask there. Good luck!

I am having trouble changing the voicemail number on my Galaxy S2. At present pressing the voicemail speeddail does nothing other then prompting me to add my voicemail number and directs me to the settings app.
If I try to change it in Settings > Call settings, I get the error message 'Voice Mail Number change unsuccesful'. But no real reason why it happens and its annoying me greatly as I can't clear my voicemail counter without it and what not >_<
Tried power cycling and what not and neither of it has helped, so has anyone of you gotten any idea as to how I can add it to my phone or fix that stupid error. Any help or advice short of doing a full reset is more then welcome, and I do hope someone might be able to help me....
Thanks in advance.
There is a copy of your voice mailbox number on the sim card that may conflict with what you are trying to do.
Talk to your provider, they can flush your mailbox and allow you to reset the number.
How can they flush my sim card, or am I reading your comment wrong?.
Just for clarifying I changed provider on my phone and I am unsure wether the error happened during that change since I can't remember fiddling with the voicemail bit before the last couple of days and running into that error.
they can flush the settings for your voicemail on their server which will allow you to make changes to your voice mail account.
Well they tried something which advertantly didn't work >_<. But apparently the voicemail number isn't even on my simcard.
They tried even more stuff >_<.
And when I press and hold #1 on my phone it says there isnt a voicemail number on my sim. But trying to change it through settings it still says "Voicemail Number changed unsuccesful"
I have the same problem. Did you find a solution?
At the moment I have limited the issue to being operator dependant. Because I have the issue on one sim from my regular provider, while trying two other providers simcards doesnt cause this error.
Next on list is to try another simcard and then go digging in the phone to see what might be causing it. But I will be pinging you if I find the solution.
dnesdlrow, where are you from and what provider do you use?.
I've got the same problem. I flashed to a custom & now there is no voicemail number on my SIM card.
I called customer service and the gave me a 10 digit number to plug in. They said the number is different for everyone so if anyone else has the same trouble you can simply call your carrier.
You need to put in your carriers specific voice mail number. For example I am on O2 UK and mine is 901.
Use google of contact your carrier for the number.

Hello,
I had a similar issue. I changed the plan on my phone, and afterward the voicemail didn't work when I did a long press on the #1 button. It kept saying that there was no voicemail number, and when I tried to enter it into the settings manually it kept saying "Voicemail number change unsuccessful."
I called Rogers and they gave me a new voicemail number; I could dial it and set up my voicemail, but when I tried to program it into the dedicated #1 speed dial spot, I still could not change it. I tried copying it to my SIM card and adding it as a contact to select for the speed dial slot, but that didn't work either. I suspected that this new number was conflicting with the SIM card, so I went to Rogers and asked for a new one. Despite some resistance, they gave it a shot, and it worked perfectly thereafter. Just be sure to copy your contacts over to your phone before getting a new SIM!
I hope this solution works for others too!
Cheers and good luck!
Help please ...
I too am trying to set my voicemail for the speed dial "1" key.
while at the keypad screen:-
menu-> call setting -> scroll to the heading "voicemail", option "voicemal service", is set default to "my carrier".
I then choose to change the "voicemail settings" -> "voicemail number", and enter the new voicemail number to dial, press ok .... and this is where the problem is...
When I press OK ... I get the following error "Voicemail number change unsuccessful"
I would like to to have this number changed , as every time manually dial my voicemail number it constantly ask for my password.
Why is this happening, I have purchased this phone outright, it is model type i9300, running Android 4.1.2.
Hopefully this can be an easy fix...?
PS...
This also causes a problem with Australian virtual mobile carriers, like Amaysim, Kogan, Aldi, who use Telstra & Optus as there underlying carriers, and and also will cause issues when travelling abroad, because you will not be able to access your voicemail if the number can not be changed to the full international dialing equivalent..
Also Can't Change the Voicemail number
I'm running a non-rooted, GS3 from VZW. Running 4.1.2.
The current voicemail number is *86 (Verizon's). I'd like to change it because I'm abroad and *86 is not my carrier's voicemail number. Every time I go to Phone, Call Settings, Voicemail Settings, and edit the number to the local one, I get "Error: Voicemail number change unsuccesful."
Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Same problem still
I'm on an S4 Mini with cm11 m6 and habe the same problem with a German T-Mobile card. I can easily dial the number 3311. Why can't I simply assign that to the #1 key?
