Go to Messages on the Palm screen, pulldown the messages menu and choose Voicemail - you'll have the ability on the screen to change th voicemail #, and this reflects on the speed dial.

You can use a "," for a timed pause. I believe it is 1/2 second per ",". You can use % for a hard pause. The dialing will pause, and will continue when you hit the OK button.
The idea of adding the "#" ",,,,,,,,,,'s" to get the phone to automatically enter your password, pause, etc. is great, but no matter what I put in it still dials *86 and waits for me to enter the "#" and my pasword. Can you give some more details about how to do this?

People like alanb are part of the reason why I no longer contribute to this site ... because of their repeated "intolerance" to newbie questions who may or may not have mastered the nuances of the "Search" feature.
Personally, I don't understand WHY people like alanb waste a message slot exhorting newbies to search for their own answers, when they can use that same slot to save the newbie a step or two.
OR -- by using that SAME Search feature, they can see that people like alanb LOVE to trumpet a message milestone which helps NO ONE. To wit:
DREADERUS -- here's your answer, since alanb is much more interested in touting the search feature (and marking thousand-post milestones) than actually helping ... hit the Messages button (fourth silver button from the left). From there, tap on the top of the Messages banner to bring up the menu, then tap on Voice Mail. From there you can change the number that Speed Dial "1" dials. HOWEVER ... you cannot change the Voice Mail "label". But it'll still dial whatever number you want.
And as for you, alanb ... if you don't want to actually "help" newbies, why not just say nothing? Let someone who IS NOT willing to relegate newbies to the Search button answer the question.
Oh ... and congratulations on your 2000th post alanb! I'm sure you felt an unbelievable amount of pride and fervor when you posted your accomplishment -- I probably felt the same when I received my 7135 in September 2002 ... over one month before you even registered on this site! If you don't believe me, call Karen Hayes at Fleishman-Hillard in San Diego.
alanb ... don't bother replying to this message. I WON'T see it ... anyway, it'll take up a message slot where you COULD tell people to "search".
And moderators ... feel free to delete this post. It won't matter to me. I'm just happy that I was finally able to vent at the elitist attitude of people like alanb.

Dear Otter,
Maybe you should have continued to "no longer contribute". The thread that alanb posted had the answer. It would be different if it was just a flame...
perhaps its best that you wait until you get home or have time to search to find your answer. some of your questions have already been answered and posting a new thread that has been discussed is cluttering up the site. i hope you don't take this as a disrespect. i am only concerned about keeping the site lean and clutter free for new people to come in to find the info they want.

As a former "newbie" I appreciated being helped along by your folks' efforts. I knew NOTHING about smartphones and this site got me up to speed quickly. If it wasn't for what I've learned here, I would have wasted money on unnecessary products and services.
Alan, in particular has been WONDERFUL by helping me to take advantage of the search feature and even creating new FAQs as they've been suggested. I've made posting mistakes (who hasn't) but no one here ridiculed me so why should anyone ridicule the moderators?
Note: I am not sucking up to none of y'all cuz you are NOT paying my mortgage nor giving me financial advice. I just appreciate everything I've gotten from SPS since I joined last Fall.

LOL... somebody needs to double-check their dosage (or maybe just double it, period).
I would read back through that whole post again to see if I could make some sense of it, but I'm missing the NBA playoffs. My favorite part was the 2,000th post reference. Alan was referring to the crazy number of posts to a particular thread.... Otter thinks he's commenting on a personal achievment. :eyesroll
I think I should e-mail Karen and warn her to keep a very safe distance.........

Alan does seem to jump rather quickly on the "Use the Search" bandwagon. In the past I have used the search but have been unable to find an answer specific to my situation.
If someone posts a question that has already been asked....well..then...dont read it. I understand Alan's reason for wanting people to use the search, but his method is rather rude IMHO. And folks it's just that.... my opinion.
It's tough keeping a balance so the board is useful for the newbies and the people who have hung around for awhile. I think alanb and the moderators have done a great job. Having a question asked and answered numerous times does clutter the board for those who check it often for something new. On the other hand, the search function may not be the first thing a newbie thinks about. Alanb's friendly reminder and gentle pointing in that direction is very appropriate, especially when he goes out of his way to provide the link that does answer the question. Bottom line: this board is a great resource because of people like alanb.
