> O2 branded K700i on Orange
Bookmark topic
I have recently purchased a SIM free K700 before I knew most of them come branded, but nevermind.
I would like to know what I am missing on an O2 branded K700i over an unbranded one? I understand O2 do not brand their phones as much as say Vodafone.
Also I am missing a menu option which is the one that allows me to change my VoiceMail number in the Messaging -> Settings menu. Does anyone know if there is another way to change it without doing a Master Reset? I was asked for the number when I first turned the phone on and then funnily enough again earlier when I left the battery off for a minute or so, but this does not work again now.
Basically I have put in +44 7973 100123 but this makes me enter my mobile number when calling Orange Answerphone from my mobile. If I dial 123 I can get straight in, so I need to change the number dialled when I hold down the '1' key.
TIA,
MaKS

The menu is missing because of the Orange SIM card blocking it. The bug with the answerphone not recognising your number has been discussed before, and happens on all SIM-free phones using an Orange SIM.
I think if you switch on the phone and hold down 1 straight away (before the phonebook has loaded) the phone will ask you to enter the answerphone number.

Thanks for that. It allowed me to change the number.
I have now found the other post and found that same that even if you assign 123 you just get the dead tone.
I have decided to use the workaround of entering the Orange Answerphone number into my Address Book and assigning it as speed dial to the '1' key. Now I have to press '1' then call to get to my voicemail but it seems to work for now.
Still a bit annoying though, since I only bought a SIM-free phone because Orange were p!55!ng me off with not giving me a discount on an upgrade and trying to constantly get me off Everyday50.

Since you have assigned the phone book entry to the '1' key, is it not possible now just to hold that key down - it should start dialling after a while.
When you get through to the answerphone service using the above method, do you still have to enter your phone number and password?

No!
If I hold down the '1' key (standard function of all mobiles) this does not work.
I now just have a Speed dial assigned to my '1' key. So press '1' once, then press 'call'.
This dials '123' and I can get to my answerphone without giving my credentials.
