call forwarding with mmi code - OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers

I'm trying to switch my Swedish SIM card to my virtual Swedish landline which is linked to my British some card. I've set it up and checked that the number is forwarded but as soon as i deactivate the Swedish SIM on the phone i only get a message that I've dialed the wrong number. I have restarted the phone with both SIMs active and tested that the virtual number works but with no luck. Any ideas where i might have gone wrong?

Problems dialing from outlook contacts. Up date

The problem has been that the Kaiser does not dial local numbers with the + sign in front. The problem occurs with prepaid Rogers service in Canada only and probably occurs to all Kaisers (2 for sure). In fact Rogers and Fido monthly plan SIM card work just fine. HTC has not helped and nor has Rogers who claim that the phone is "not supported". The problem is in the Kaiser though. The prepaid sim card that creates the problem in the Kaiser works just fine in any other phone including Rogers HTC Touch.
I start hating my phone, too many problems with no solution in sight.

I cannot dial the local numbers that I have in the contact list. All my contacts phone numbers have been made on the PC with outlook and then sycronized them on the Kaiser. All the numbers have been made selecting the country code in outlook and appear in the format +country code then (areacode) then number. Unfortunately I can only dial the international ones and not the local. When I dial the local numbers a AM says that the number has not been assigned. The same number dialed via Skype works just fine.
If I remove the +sign and leave the 1 (I am in Canada) the number dials no problem. Same thing if I dial just the area code and number.
The problem is driving me nuts. I cannot make 2 set of contacts one for Skype and one for the regular calls. I also travel a lot and I need to dial the numbers from different countries without have to change anything.
I looked on the net for suggestions but did not find any answer.
Any help is much appreciated
Cheers

Question with regard to dialing with phone card

Just wonder if anyone has a solution how to connect to the phone card and have the diamond automatically send the destination phonenumber without going through the hassle of dialing the number everytime. Thanks.
I figured it out using Magicall. Thx

Phone Card/ Intl dialling App - HELP

I've tried most of the apps in the marketplace and none seem to work on the Hero.
There are two types of App, the first is used directly, that is you type your number into the app and in theory it should first dial the local access number before dialling the number you entered. This type of app complains with USSD MMI errors
The 2nd type of app should detect that you are attemtping to dial an intl number and intercept it, dialling the local access number before dialling the number/ contact you entered. With this type of app the detection does not work, you end up making the call directly using your normal mobile operator.
None of the apps work:-
Accudial
CellularLD
Calling Card Pro
Phonecard Express
Vopium
Voxofon
The developer of Calling card pro aknowledges the problem with Heros and in particular those that run custom ROMs.
Anyone found a solution ?
Connection problem/ Invalid MMI
Looks as though I am not alone !

Well I have found that Truphone works, they do no thave the best rates but it is better than nothing and better than dialling my phone card manually and entering the access number and pin.
It looks as though it is the "#" that gets inserted into the dial string by these type of apps that causes the problems.
Morning,
I would say Google Voice should be the best solution if you are based in the USA.
Good luck.

Problems setting up Google Voice

This is the first time I am having an issue setting up Google Voice as my default voicemail. The last few phones I've used, an unlocked S8+ and most recently an AT&T locked Note 8 I have been offered the option to use GV as my voicemail when launching the GV app the first time, during the initial set-up I get a prompt. Now I have an unlocked Note 8 (US version purchased from Samsung) and I did not get the prompt. So I went to the GV setting on my pc and tried "activating" the voicemail by running the code for AT&T which is **004*1215839XXXX#, when I hit send I get the following error code (see attached). GV was deactivated on my previous Note 8, there is no additional setting under VOICEMAIL/SERVICE PROVIDER and I cannot change the call forwarding information, I get a error message "Failed to read data, unexpected response from network." I CAN change the actual number under VOICEMAIL SETTINGS but that doesn't seem to change anything. The number that was in there was the same as the Call Forward/Busy and unreachable which again I cannot change.
Any insight would be great, I did speak at length with AT&T which was fruitless, I would prefer not to punish myself with a call to Samsung.
Thanks in advance,
Quick update- I spoke with Samsung tech support and they had me try some of the same procedures I had already tried, rebooting phone, adding a comma or plus sign at the end of the string, etc. I also tried an alternative visual voicemail, You Mail and this also failed to run the MMI code. Samsung gave me a case number and want me to take the phone to a Best Buy to speak with one of their Samsung Experts, possibly for an exchange?? Maybe there is a hardware issue with the phone, seems unlikely but since no one else here seems to be having a problem it doesn't appear to be software.
I have the same issue. Please advise if you are able to resolve it.
I have Google Voice working on my Note 8 on T-Mobile, including all the conditional forwarding. BUT I had it all setup before I swapped the SIM card from my OnePlus 5 to the Note 8.
Maybe you could try to setup the conditional forwarding by putting the SIM card in another device?

I had another long conversation with Samsung support and I'll use support loosely, the nearest Best Buy with a Samsung expert was 2 hours away, and the woman was surprised when I laughed. While I've only had the phone for a week or so they will not exchange it but I can buy a new one and then send back mine or I can send in for repair...what a f'ing joke! I am curious if ANYONE with an unlocked US version can set up GV as the voicemail or an alternative like You mail. I can set up the AT&T visual voicemail and that's it. I'm beginning to think it's in the software of the US unlocked version.

Hi. I just switched to at&t. Despite the offer of GV to operate on my Note 8, it has never functioned. I've tried everything. I've used GV since it was first offered, and if I'd known the combo was a dud, I'd have kept t-mobile.
If you've figured it out, let me know. Doesn't seem to be a locked/unlocked issue as you thought.

I just bought a Note 8 on Monday, my google voice mail worked for 1 day I have messages in my google voice one day after I turned it on. Now it isn't working and I can't get it to. How can that be?
I have used GV for my VM since it came out as well.
The Note8 is the first phone I have had to configure manually for some reason. I have the Exynos from the UK and using on AT&T in the US.
Below are the steps I took and everything is working as expected. I only use the VM part of GV as I do not have a need to dial via GV so I do not know how to fix that part if it is not working on your phone.
1. Go to phone app and select 3 dots in top right.
2. Select settings.
3. Select More Settings.
4. Select Call forwarding.
5. Select Voice call.
6. Populate your GV number in place of the carrier's number or whatever number is there in the 3 fields. Should be in format like +15631234321. Might be good idea to note what number is there in case you have to go back.
Always forward should be turned off.
7. Go back to settings again and select Voicemail settings.
8. Populate your GV number in the Voicemail number field. Should be in format like 5631234321. This is probably not needed unless you dial your own VM to get messages, I think.

Sprint settings don't have that...I think ours mess up when we do a profile update...and we have to dial our forwarding setup again...ie.,*73googlevoicenumber or carrier version anyway...tedious yes...but only takes a second to do...I put in a bug request as welll...you all should do the same...take note of how often it happens and what triggers...like the profile update as I could be mistaken...wish we had a fix like above...

So your VM is going to your Sprint VM instead of to GV?

No...GVM...I just had to redo my *73googlevoicenumber after profile update
Hoping this helps... I realized the Google Voice voicemail functionality stopped working on my unlocked Pixel (on AT&T) a few months ago. After reinstalling the Voice app, I also no longer saw the option to use its voicemail as default. I also received errors when dialing the "activate" codes mentioned on the GV site.
I hopped on a chat with AT&T and said there seemed to be a known issue with GV vm no longer working with AT&T. We went through the following:
- verified correct IMEI on account (I switch phones often so the IMEI did need to be updated)
- restarted phone
- again tried the "activate" codes and voila--success
I made a test call and GV voicemail picked up instead of the carrier, I got a vm notification, and could see the vm in the GV app. When I asked the agent what they did, they said they enabled voicemail (I wonder if they meant call forwarding?) and that was all. I went into the phone app, and yes, under call forwarding, my GV # was now listed. :good:
I was able to fix a similar issue on my newly-activated Samsung Galaxy A51 on Verizon. Nothing seemed to be getting the google vm to work.
I found another thread that suggested going into Google Voicemail (Legacy Google Voicemail). That section provided a tab that was PHONES. On that screen was a google vm number and my cell phone number. I had to press the ACTIVATE voicemail button next to my cell phone number. That provided a unique code to type into the phone (*71 plus 10-digit number, which interestingly was NOT the google vm number listed above).
I thought the code may be wrong because it was not the number assigned to me, so I edited the code to by google vm number. Didn't work. Entered code again with 10-digit number as initially provided.
Next I went into Verizon's details for my phone and then into a CALL FORWARDING section. There was an option to forward ALL CALLS or BUSY and UNANSWERED. I selected the latter and put in the 10-digit phone number (again, not the number that was showing as my vm number, but the one generated in the activation) in the *code mentioned above.
All back to working order!

Call Ended and Incoming Unknown

Hello!
I've got a problem with my P10 - when I call anyone, the dialer instantly says "Call Ended", but the person on the receiving end receives the call and can answer but there's no sound(my phone doesn't even show that there's a call), and when I get an incoming call, I dial Unknown. SMS and mobile data work just fine. My SIM card doesn't work in my dad's phone, but it works in some random phone, which is on 4.4 I think, my dad's SIM card, which works in his phone, doesn't work in mine, so I think there's a problem in my phone. So far I've tried a factory reset, safe mode and replacing Telecom in priv-app(I'm rooted, but I unrooted + factory reset to make sure it's not the root).
From what I've found this issue isn't exclusive to Huawei, but the fixes that worked for others didn't work for me(Don't have VoLTE/Wi-Fi calling option, never on Wi-Fi anyways, also no Caller ID, Call Barring isn't activated and I can't activate it)
My phone is on B382.
If possible, I'd like to rule out every possibility before changing the SIM card.
Thank you!
