If your phone gets confused and thinks you have voicemail when you don’t:
- Call yourself from another phone
- Leave a voicemail
- Retrieve the voicemail from your cellphone
- Delete the voicemail with “7”
- Exit the system with “*”
Worked for me! Thanks to the Cingular forums for the tip. BTW, the only way I know to unlock the phone is to call Cingular and ask them to do it.
i got the v551 when it first came out. i have had NO problems with it. i have accessed
the internet, sent and rec’d multimedia text messages, all the things one does on a phone these days.
i am very hard on phones. i had dropped this one getting out of the car, sending it sailing on the ground,
gotten it damp, very hard bumps and bruises. the outside isn’t as bad looking as i would
have thought it would. i love this phone, the only reason i am getting rid of it is because the keypad is worn
to the point of no repair. but overall, i loved the phone itself
