hmm.. when I put my Rogers SIM in my phone, my voicemail button worked no problem.
FYI - iPhone voicemail
Courtesy of Gizmodo (How To: Activate the Voicemail Button in Non-AT&T Unlocked iPhones - Gizmodo, here's a helpful how-to on activating the voicemail button on the iPhone. While you won't be able to receive "pushed" vm messages, it will let you use it like a speed-dial button.
1. First, take note of what your voicemail number is with your current provider (for example, in Spain the Vodafone voicemail number is 177).
2. Click on the phone button in your iPhone.
3. Click on the keypad tab.
4. Tap the following code:
*5005*86*xxx#
The xxx is the voicemail number, in our example it will read: *5005*86*177#
5. Tap call.
6. After a second, the code will have been set.
7. Tap now on the voicemail button and it will automatically call your usual voicemail service.

same here, before I learned about the iphone method I just loaded my sim into another phone and set the VM number that way... it stays with the sim.
Problem I'm having is with inserting a pause in the voicemail # line... ordinarily I would just use a comma since that seems to be pretty universal but now I haven't got access to another phone and I can't find a way to use the iphone keypad to enter a comma or a p
any ideas???

Its a comma, I saw the keyboard display it when entering a new contact - try it out
I was looking for that option in the keypad for when you are just free dialing [still can't find it] but I did have an idea that was an extension of yours where I created a dummy contact with the correct *5005*... phone number using commas for pauses and tried calling that contact... it seemed to work since I didn't get an error message or anything but what I found is that the VM number on the phone wasn't updated at all. To fully test it I used the exact same contact and stored the same phone number without pauses and it worked fine. I'm starting to think it might not be possible [that is hard for me]Its a comma, I saw the keyboard display it when entering a new contact - try it out
I did what ((pg)) suggested and now cannot access voicemail...how do I reverse or delete this?hmm.. when I put my Rogers SIM in my phone, my voicemail button worked no problem.

Did you make sure that you included the # sign after the number?
i.e., it should be *5005*86*xxx# , replacing the x's with the area code and 7 digit number for accessing your voicemail.

update: I gave up on using the "voicemail" button for my purpose and left it with the standard rogers VM number. I'm currently using a dummy contact with the phone number I needed [including pauses] added to my favourites; since it's only 1 extra tap it isn't too bad.

Me too.hmm.. when I put my Rogers SIM in my phone, my voicemail button worked no problem.
I had a problem, cause' my number has a * before. Example... *5005*86**100#.
The second * after 86 was ignored.
Any ideas?

I am on Rogers and my voicemail button works as it dials my cell number allowing me the check my messages. However, what it doesn't do is show me the number of voicemail's I have waiting by placing the red numbered circle attached to the voicemail button like mail or SMS does.
Is there a way to turn on that feature?
