SRF mobile -- setting up voicemail
I have a SFR SIM card in my Motorola mobile/cell and need to set up voicemail.
I have looked and the SFR web site but speak no French, so no help. I do have internet access so if someone could direct me it would be great! Thanks |
have you looked around: http://international-travellers.sfr.fr/en/utiliser/
you could also try the google translate facility on the french pages, if only for the occassional funny results! I think this page may be your answer: http://translate.google.co.uk/transl...3DG%26num%3D30 |
Thanks,
I looked over those pages and no luck. Any other ideas? |
You are probably aware of this, but Dial 555 to go to your voicemail box. The instructions are in French and I do not think there is an option to change it to English. So, you will likely need to get someone that speaks french to get it done for you.

sorry i thought the link above went to the page, but google translate will take you through the pages. this is the info you need anyway\1

No joy yet... Tried 555 Send, several times. I get a message which says Operation failed. |
Antichef,
Thanks for the translation. I have tried both 123 Send as well as 123*21 Send and still no luck getting into VM set-up. I am in France and the phone seems to work fine both calling and receiving calls. Bukzin |
remember to follow with # !
if all else fails call the operator, or buy a friendly bilingual local a glass of wine :D |
Try calling customer service; they should be able to help you.
http://international-travellers.sfr....work/index.jsp For any information on connection, call our customer care on 06 1000 4357 (+33 6 1000 4357 from abroad). A multilingual operator will answer all your questions. |
I dialed that customer support number and got the message
'the SFR service you requested is not in use at this time' For something so simple as getting into my voicemail this is a challenge. Nearly as silly as the US cell phone companies! |
Wow! Seems like you really need to setup the VM. I am assuming you will be there for a while. VM there is not as common as it is here. Anyway, Did you see the response to your question here?

Did you try contacting the shop where you bought it, an SFR shop, or any other of the ubiquitous phone stores? Easter's over, so today they should be open again.
Was there no documentation with your SIM? There should have been instructions or a customer service number in there.
