  1. Unable to add phone number


    I am having trouble putting my number as it says, "The phone number you entered isn't valid. Your phone number can contain numbers, spaces, and these special characters: [ ] . - * /", although my number is correct.Tried entering numbers starting in 905, 0905 and +63905 but it won't accept. I used this number in a lot of applications and it works well. It just so happens it doesn't work in this account.Hope you can help me with this.

    :)

    Blocking Cell Phone Numbers

    Here's one way to get around the problem. It's kludgy but it should work.

    Get a VOIP based phone service or a magic jack. For 24/7 access, you're better off with VOIP that uses an ethernet adapter, but that's up to the user.

    The important point is to find one that lets you create your own "black list" of callers. Usually they will have both black and white list options and these are usually a subcategory under the "do not disturb" or similar feature.

    The provider will usually let you create a second number for $5-10 per month. You'll use this for your cell phone number. If it is ever compromised, you can change it easily without affecting the base number.

    Forward the second number to your cell phone and give everyone that one as your "cell phone" number. There will be a delay of a few seconds as calls get routed, but who cares. It's not like any of us is on Obama's speed dial right?

    Now when you get assholes calling you, just add them to the black list.

    You can also block calls w/o caller id this way if your cell phone co. doesn't already do that for you.

    Trouble saving voicemail number

    To access my voicemail it is my phone number, a pause and 4 digit pin.



    I did the following steps:

    • Turned off default voicemail number
    • Added a , (for pause) at end of my phone number
    • Added the 4 digit pin
    I get the following error message We're having trouble saving your voicemail number right now. Try again later.



    Any suggestions on how to correct this?

    E52 unable to see phone numbers

    I am unable to view phone numbers when I browse contacts, I think this is possible as it was in the earlier models of NOKIA E- Series. Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.



    Thanks in advance.
