Does anyone know how I can pick up voicemail for another orange phone
number using my own orange handset to make the call? e.g I am
travelling, no access to a landline, wife is also out and about but her
phone isn't working/battery dead etc. She thinks there may be an
important voicemail, how do I pick it up? When I dial the number for the
voicemail there doesn't seem to be an option to get it to prompt me for
which mobile number I want the voicemail for, only when I call from an
landline but this isn't always possible
I tried calling the numpties at Orange (Google for "worst contact centre
award") http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=wor...t+centre+award
but after 15 minutes of being passed around between people with a less
than perfect command of basic English, I hung up (some of us don't get
paid to waste our lunchtimes on this)
thanks

How did you find that out? When I called Orange (still #1 in Google for
worst contact centre award) I wasted 15 mins and still didn't even get
someone who understood the question
