Mailbox not working - Nokia 8 Questions & Answers

Hello,
i have a problem with mailboxes. My own one works fine, but if i call others their mailbox does not work for me. First i thought the problem was on their end, but i figured out that their mailboxes do just not work for me.
I tried to always redirect me to the mailbox on their device if i call and this works. But if they just do not answer the call i'm not forwarded to the mailbox. It is independ of the carrier.
Is there maybe a setting somewhere or do others have the problem with the Nokia 8?
It's complete unbranded and not rooted.

Can't get SMS to work

I'm pulling my hair out here. I unlocked my Tilt today and loaded the Kaiser ROM on my phone. Afterwards I loaded the default MMS cab file. I'm successfully using Goodlink, Slingplayer, Exchange synching, PIE, etc. Everything works except SMS messages. When I send a test message from my Tilt to my blackberry I never receive it and visa versa. I do get the message that the message was sent successfully. I tried sending a text message from Outlook to my [email protected] and I get an undeliverable message telling me that [email protected] has restricted SMS email. I am however able to use Outlook to send text messages to my blackberry phone. Both on ATT/Cingular's network. Any suggestions would be appreciated, I'm pulling my hair out(or what's left of it) on this one!
well SMS is over the GPS network meaning if your phone works as in making calls your SMS should be working also. Call AT-T and tell them your SMS is not working just don't tell them that you flashed the HTC rom to your Tilt sounds like something on there end.
I had the same problem. It turned out that the ATT rep I bought the phone from signed me up for Blackberry Connect with no text messages, rather than the PDA plan, so I could do everything (even AIM, which used the SMS anyway...) except text. Maybe this is the case with you as well? If so a call to AT&T should fix that (and save 4 dollars a month?).
Unless, of course, the guy was totally BSing, as they tend to do.

hmmmm....no voicemail....

I got everything working the way I want on my new Tilt. I already created a thread about email not working and I have already been helped on that one (thanks again).
Since then, I decided to use a new rom (Schaps WM6Pro Kaiser 4.21 WWE Full). I am really liking it.
First thing I noticed is that AT&T's Media NET connection was no more, it showed up as CingularGPRS. Although all the settings were right and I think I have everything setup right (data works great, SMS/MMS, incoming/outgoing email, incoming/outgoing phone calls).
But the voicemail isn't working. Phone rings about 12 times, and instead of going to vmail, the caller gets a "The cellular customer you are trying to reach is unavailable, please try your call again" message.
If I press ignore on the phone, the caller gets a busy tone.
I tried searching (really, I did) and didn't find anything.
Any ideas on how to set up voicemail?
Thanks in advance for any help.
My VM got messed up after AT&T renewed my contract and updated my account. Call customer support, I called them last night.
Voicemail is a carrier issue unless you have the wrong number set to dial your voicemail??

I would have no idea what number its supposed to dial.
But thanks for the help, I will give AT&T support a call and have them fix it.
BTW, is this something I did by messing with the phone, or was it probably not set up from the get go? i picked up the phone a few days ago and never received a voicemail and only found out today because a friend called and got that weird message so he texted me instead. Just dont want them accusing me of any
I have the same problem when ignore (red button) a incomming call.
It works good when I don't pick up, then it goes to voicemail after 30 seconds, but when I push the red button it give a busy tone...
Does someone know a sollution for this?
I have the right number in the voicemailbox settings...

Calling via Touchless Control

I've experienced a couple of problems recently and I'm not sure if it's a bug or something they changed with the last update. I'm on 4.4.2 with Sprint.
Previously, when I tried to call a business (i.e. "Call Pizza Hut"), it would find it via Google Now and make the call. Recently, I've noticed that if the business is not listed in my contacts, it will try to call one of my contacts.
Also, if there's a contact with more than one phone number, it used to give you a prompt to confirm whichever number you're trying to call. Now, it just calls the default number.
Has anyone else noticed this and do you know of a fix?

Unfortunately, I have the same exact issue on Republic Wireless (Sprint MVNO) 4.4.2 and haven't found a solution....
Strangely, the issue seems to come and go. Additionally, the voice recognition is WAYYY off....it will try to call a contact that doesn't even sound like who I'm trying to call.
My solution is to instead, turn the screen on, then hit the microphone icon (top right corner). From there if you say "Call Pizza Hut", it seems to work 100% of the time.
I agree that the issue is quite irritating. Hopefully a future update to Touchless Controls fixes this.
It will be interesting to see if those on later android versions also experience the same issue...
Are you also experiencing the 2nd problem?
Voice recognition doesn't seem to be an issue for me.

Nope, just confirmed -- tried to call a contact with 2 numbers in phonebook (cell & home) and the phone responded:
"I found two matches. Say the name after you hear the one you want to call. 'Person' home. 'Person' cell."

Yea, that's what mine used to do. Now it just calls the top number.

Verizon note 8 on AT&T Calling error!

Hey everyone,
I have a bit of a weird issue here. I have a note 8 from Verizon which everyone knows comes unlocked. I am using it on AT&T and everything works well except for one thing. For some reason when I receive phone calls from people, it shows on the screen with a + sign in front of the phone number. So if someone calls me that is in my contact book, it will not show their name since there is no + sign in my contact book. So also now in my call history if I try to call that number back it sounds like it is trying to make an international call. I have no idea what is happening. Data, texts and calls work but instead of getting a call from 9999999999 I get +9999999999.
Please help me out here, I love the phone!!

I've read about this issue before. Googling 'incoming calls show +' gives you some leads.
In short it seems to be related to Dialling Assistance settings (note spell error, is as in settings...). I couldn't find those via the regular settings (used to be accessible via settings in Phone app), but I could via the app 'Shortcut Master (Light)' ...
Search for 'dialing' and then launch:
'com.android.phone.operator.usa.AssistedDialingActivity'. My settings (N950U1) are as per SS...
Try playing with these settings.

Don't receive SMS messages

Hi,
I just got a Mi 9 today and everything works fine (i can receive phone calls normally..) but i noticed that there was a problem with sms messages : i only receive some messages (not all of them) and the ones that arrive are delayed.
And i don't receive apps confirmation messages at all (Xiaomi account, WhatsApp, WeChat...)
I checked the SMSC and it was correct.
I hope someone can help me with this problem.
Thanks
Amine
There are a couple settings you might want to change. If you enable Developer Options there is a Toggle called mobile data always active. Some phones (like those from Google) have this enabled by default. If it's not already enabled I click that setting on. I have never noticed additional data usage on any phone as a result of that being enabled--it just allows for faster network switching.
In WiFi settings you probably have an option to stay connected to WiFi while your phone is asleep. I always enable that as well.
You are probably getting delayed SMS and notifications because the data connection is off when your phone is sleeping--and if your phone is connected to WiFi but your carrier doesn't support WiFi texts then you won't receive texts until your data connection is reestablished.
I would like to bump this subject.
I just purchased a Mi 9 and I have the very same problem as the OP.
Following jhs39 indications didn't help.
Appreciate all the help

SMS does not arrive through DATA connection, as far as I know. It uses plain old GPRS signal. Data is for internet.
Same for me. don't receive apps confirmation messages at all (Xiaomi account, WhatsApp, Facebook. etc

What about APN's?!
Did You check this?!
There must be two APN's, one for data connection (internet) and other of MMS messages only.

I´m having the exact same issue with the Xiaomi Mi 9 T Pro, I can receive SMS from another numbers, but I'm not able to receive sms from big companies (Xiaomi account, Whastapp, Steam) I know is the phone because I put my SIM card on my old phone, and all the company SMS where going through just fine!
Does someone knows the solution from this? I really wanted to use Xiaomi but is getting really difficult and really frustrating at the same time :/
I have a similar problem.
I don't use a Xiaomi's account, so I haven't noticed that problem.
My problem is with Google verification sms.
I don't receive them, or they come much later than they used to on my old phone.

someone managed to solve? My cell phone was working normally and a week ago stopped receiving sms from applications and companies. Please if anyone knows help
I have the same problem since last Thursday... but in my case, it only happens when the SMS is sent from a foreign Phone number; if somebody from my country sends me a SMS it works fine (and, of course, I am able to send SMSs to my country and foreign countries without any problem).
I had the same problem... but i was connected to my VPN.. once i disconnected from the VPN.. everything worked fine
as for me i get sms but NOT MMS. i have defiantly tried a ton of apns and no MMS
Xiaomi is becoming a headache
I have realized that Xiaomi seems to be a good smartphone (mine is a Redmi Note 8 Pro), but at the end it is a very problematic one. Mine never connects to 4G LTE and my SIM card is a valid one which works fine with other phones (Samsung S8, Samsung J7 Neo, Moto G5 plus and Huawei Y7). I have done everything possible that I have read in the internet and I don't get to fix it. I'm about to give up ...
