Using voice mail codes - <star star>

bmarchet · #1 (**permalink**) 03-19-2009, 03:54 PM

Why is it that the star key, within the dialer (almost any dialer, including ones on my old 6700), cycles between "*", "p", and "w", instead of allowing you to repeat the star key?

Nortel voice mail systems require a double-star input to reach your voice mail box functions.

The stock Sprint dialer and the Black Dialer both do this

Somebody had HAD to have a problem with this...is there a registry change that can be made?

I need to change my signature. I am using a Sprint HTC Touch Diamond.

Try installing a different dialer.

If you wait about half a second between presses it should give you another star. Atleast it works for me with the black dialer.

Voice mail system doesn't wait for the pause.
I just don't know what the point is with the "p" and "w" scrolling.

I'll try another dialer. Thanks.

It does not work with the RuskiyAB CDMA Black S2A dialer, either.

Could you just store the phone number so it automatically logs you in? ie: 555-1234p**xxxx
I haven't tried this with my diamond but it's worked for me with an older phone.
