I've been lurking around the board the past few weeks while I made a decision on which phone I was going to pickup and as you see I finally settled on the 8125.
I've had it roughly two days now and it's been great! I've got an NES emu loaded up, spb pocket plus w/weather and AIM. More or less the essentials that I'm going to need.
I've got a very basic question that I still can't quite hash out...
I have yet to setup my voicemail and can't seem to find where such a path would be located. I've gone through messaging plenty, and while there is an option there to change your voicemail number (obviously a big no no) I can't seem to find an "icon" or path that will let me access it for my first time setup... Any help here? Should I just setup a voicemail contact and use it that way?
I'm quite pleased with the little machine thus far. It's only for personal use, so no crazy power user expectations, but it seems the possibilities are endless with it!
Any suggestions on other software I should give a try as well?
Thanks for all your input and I look forward to being a contributing member of the board once I catch on a bit more!
Ah, kind of a bummer... 15 views and no help on such a simple task.
I was able to find out how to access the voicemail through Cingular's support Forum.
For those in the future, if you're as "thick" as I have been with this process, you only need to hold down the "1" key in the phone to access your voicemail. (I assume this is specific to Cingular's service only... Tmobile and the like are probably different....)
So, I'm all set in that aspect now and I've made my first tiny contribution to the board...
How about those software recommendations?
I got rid of the today screen display for spb this morning... couldn't seem to get the icons small enough to the point where there isn't a scroll bar on the front screen. I'd prefer all the information to just be there instead of having to scroll for it.
Also, I'm using Yahoo's POP3 service and think i read a post after searching a few days ago.... It doesn't self update to alert you when you receive a new email? Absolutely have to hit Send/Receive yourself in order to retrieve new mail?
If that's the case...I'm pretty bummed I paid $20 for a year of the upgraded service when I could've just accessed my free account on the web under pretty much the same circumstances...
AFAIK, Yahoo does not have push function. No mention of it on their support pages either way, so that would indicate a 'No' to me. So either do manual send/receive actions or set the account on your device to check for new mail on a preset interval.
Thanks for the quick response. I do recall reading about the Push feature elsewhere, I was just unfamiliar with the term. I will set an interval for the send/receive function.
