Phone help for messages?

[KImi]

As explained before I have difficulty working out speech especially where I can't see the persons face. I wondered if I can ask this on here as its quite important?

I need to know... if I take my SIM out of my phone and turn the phone off what would another person hear if they tried to phone my number? Would there be a message that the phone/number was disconnected or turned off? or they wouldn't hear any ring sound or anything like an engaged or dead phone line tone?

I'm not sure if its same sound as when someone rings a landline and a phone isn't connected? ..as usually if someone rings my landline that minicom is connected to, if they don't use the typetalk code the call can't connect and it just sounds to them like a computer modem or like they've rung a fax machine.

I need to know tonight please

Thanks

Kimi

I mean on UK iPhones what would you hear if person had turned off their phone and removed SIM card?

If you took the SIM out of your phone then anyone who rings would just get a message saying, "This phone is switched off" and go through to the voice mail service, I would think.

 

[Mr Allen]

Without the SIM card in, your phone will not work anyway so they'll just get "this person's phone is switched off, please leave a message after the tone".

And then when you put the SIM back in, listen to the message and ring them back at your earliest convenience, well that's what I'd do

 

[KImi]

surely if the SIM was completely removed and not connected to a phone they'd be no tone or anything? How can you leave a message if the Sim is not IN a phone?

what I do because I have the same problem as you probably do with a slightly less degree !is tell them to email me or text, if not they will have to use the type talk service ,I don't have a Minicom so I rely on email and accept that that's the way you communicate .

I do both, however, annoyingly the Manager of my care company doesn't do either, the woman has NO communication skills.

Although to be fair I did email her colleague Emma last night about today's call and she responded this morning, on a Sunday! Now THAT's service.

well I can't collect any voice messages but I thought if the SIM was not in a phone it might say the phone was not active or something so they wouldn't keep ringing?

do I have to press the green button with phone image pic on it, cos nothings happening after pressing 002? Never used it as a voice phone so don't even know how to make a voice call on it! How will I know which message its saying and what its saying and when it's saying 'dismiss'

Your voice mail isn't stored on the phone or your SIM card. It's stored on the service's (i.e EE) servers. Hence you have to ring 1571 to get your mail.
