Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Cingular / December 2005Voicemail Notification
Is it necessary to keep the phone powered on to receive voicemail notification? To clarify, when I turn the phone off for a day or so, then turn it back on, it won't notify me of voicemail messages received while the phone was off. If I call in, the voicemail messages are in my mailbox, just no notification. Is this normal? > Is it necessary to keep the phone powered on to receive voicemail notification? To clarify, when I turn the phone off for a day or so, then turn it back on, it won't notify me of voicemail messages received while the phone was off. If I call in, the voicemail messages are in my mailbox, just no notification. Is this normal? Well when the phone is "off" it's physically off and of course can't receive anything. When you turn it back on WAIT--it will usually pick up the VM flag and resend any undelivered SMS messages within 5 minutes or so. GSM seems to be better at this--TDMA often waited until during the first call to "wake up".  SignatureJud Dallas TX USA not normal. should eventually notify you when you power it back on. My Sprint and Cingular service usually takes from 5 to 10 minutes to realize I have messages, and then notifies me. c > not normal. > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > c I spoke with a Cingular rep today and she said she has NEVER received voicemail notification just after powering up. She thought you had to go in and check. She said she is, as am I, Northern California Cingular GSM. However, this apparently was just her own experience. It was nothing official and she was unable to find anything official. The PAGE function operates just fine. If I page from a landline, then power up, I get a notification within a couple of minutes. Seems voicemail should be the same. |
