DR Ron Pulliam - Well, if I can fly out to San Francisco on my day off to see a performance of Lestat - and fly back a little less than 24 hours later, I'm sure I could fly out to Oakland to program your phone - especially if you're sending the ticket!
You will be pleased to know that California is one of only four states in which folks with my model phone cannot retrieve their voicemail EXCEPT via their cell phones.
My voice mail box is FULL.
AND....the CLINCHER....Cingular has said they cannot figure out what to tell me in regards to how to correct the problem with dialing my voice mail. It "seems" it's IMPOSSIBLE to reprogram the number "1" as anything. Only numbers "2" through "9" can be set to represent a number (i.e., for "speed dial" purposes). And...since "1" cannot be programmed to be anything other than voice mail, there are no instructions on how to UNprogram "1" and reset it to voice mail.
I even tried "master reset", knowing I'd probably have to redo my address book.
But....it didn't do the trick, and it didn't mess anything up.
