True, but he *might* want to turn it back on again..! Ivor

Only on contract. The OP also never said if he was on PAYG or contract, the option to control via the handset doesn't exist on PAYG. Ivor

What they'll actually switch off though is the auto-divert, they won't remove the VPS from the line completely.. So the auto-divert doesn't only apply to PAYM. Just changing the auto-divert won't alter the VPS settings on PAYG or PAYM. Try it with a PAYG SIM.. Set up a PIN, call Orange and have them disable the auto-divert, then call your answerphone. The answerphone is still there, with your PIN intact.

I saw it today while leafing through the products on another matter. -- Regards Jon

I've never been able to get it on mine, although surely JT doesn't exist by that name any more, it's been called PAYG for ages..? My phone doesn't have the divert option present on the menu, this has always been the case with every PAYG Orange phone I've had over the years. If you can tell me how to get it enabled (without losing the original OH pack I have on that SIM..!!) I'll be *very* interested..! Ivor |
