Mobile phone query

[potty64]

Having recently purchased a large buttoned MOB phone on E_Bay for my disabled brother, I've just discovered it only rings twice and then goes to Voice mail. How can I get it to ring 3 or 4 times? Can't find it on Settings.

which network?

[potty64]

Hi bednobs, It just says under NETWORK SELECT - AUTOMATIC(?)

[bednobs]

which network is the sim card? who sends the bills? or if a pay and go, how does he top up?

[bednobs]

by network i mean is it 02, orange, vodaphone etc

As Bednobs has effectively indicated, it's the phone service provider's computer which switches calls to voicemail, not the phone itself. So you need to tell that computer to change its settings (usually by making a special phone call to it); you won't find any settings on the phone itself.

For example, here's what you have to do with Vodafone:

Oh, I've just seen that you've posted while I've been typing this. You seem to have misinterpreted Bednobs' question. What we need to know is the name of the phone company who the bill is paid to. (Vodafone? Orange? O2?)

Hi, (I'm not sure how you're supposed to answer on ANSWERBANK, being as I'm new to it) Anyway, It's VODAPHONE.

[bednobs]

you need to follow the link chris has provided then :)

[Buenchico]

You seem to be doing quite well with answering!

Yes, the link is above but (if your display is like mine) it's hard to read where the asterisks are in those instructions. I suggest pressing Ctrl and + together a few times, until it's easier to read. (To get your screen back to normal, press Ctrl and - a few times, or just press Ctrl and 0 once).

By the way, don`t take any notice of the network select/automatic message on your phone. That`s just the phone trying to find a network when you are overseas and roaming. It`s asking you if you want the phone to find a working network automalically or if you want to do it manually.
