Riiing Apparently Messes Up Vm Again

MATHA531 · 14-05-2006, 10:39

About a year ago, united mobile (riiing) had repaired its voice mail so that if your phone was off, incoming calls would go directly into voice mail.

Now in setting up for a trip, I checked to make sure my 800 number to riiing was working and instead of going directly into voice mail, there is now a message, at least on my line, saying the caller is not available and to try later or send a text (in English only) and after repeating it, then and only then the phone rings.

Why have they done this? It is obvious their feeling that this is a better way to go as they had "fixed" this problem a year ago.

Any comments.

Seems to be okay now....wonder if it has something to do with routing of calls

These glitches occur from time to time.

I've found the best solution is to wait 24 hours and try again - usually these sort of problems solve themselves.

Bottom line - a week before travelling, check the UM card and CBW/voicemail facilities and keep checking!

But hey - the services are reasonably priced...
