Title: *COMPLETED* How can I receive a 'Voice Message' (GiffGaff) on (old Nokia)?
Post by: Rosinish on Friday 05 May 17 23:32 BST (UK)
Hi Folks,

I seldom use a/my mob phone & when I do it's only for texts or calls.

I had a text to say I have a new voice message & I have no idea how to retrieve it  ::)

Any help will be appreciated  ???

On my old Nokia, you go to Menu then find Messaging and go through that Menu till you find Voice Messages (press the down arrow on the thing around the main button, on mine) and you get 'Listen to Voice Messages'  and press the main button and it auto-dials the voice mailbox.

Or you can go to Inbox and it tells you that you have (number of) voice message and to dial a number to retrieve them.

Or you could go to your local phone shop and play dumb and get one of the attendants to show you how  :P :P  :P

Gadget & Dawn,

No can do......got the voice message part but beeps & cuts off!

I guess it's because I have no cred in phone?

No intention of topping up soon either  ;)

PAYG & seldom use it.

Well, if they really want to contact you, they'll try again.
I'm like you, only use mine at rare intervals, like when on hols or can't get to a landline.
Mine's on a post-paid plan so I only get charged if I use it and the 'plan' doesn't have a use-by date, like some of the pre-paid ones do.

True,

They will call back if it's so important  ;D

Thanks to you & Gadget for the info. though.

I was with o2 for years & had them disable my voicemail i.e. never needed/used it but forgot to ask giffgaff to do the same.

It's probably only someone asking if you had a PPI.  ;D Not likely to be anyone who knows you is it if they know that you rarely use the phone?

no-one leaves voicemail for me! I'm a little deaf, so my "voicemail message" before the "beep" is . .
"don't leave a message - please text me"

(sorry - didn't notice this was completed!)
