10/05/2008, 7:57 tenniswitch Joined on 15/11/2005 Posts 504 Orange Messagerie Vocale 888 I've started Orange mobile telephone service and cannot figure out how to access my voicemail messages. Every time I dial 888, I get the prompts to enregistrer a Code Secret and my name and pronoun, and I do this, but somehow it never gets saved and I never actually get to a point such that I can listen to my messages (I know that people have left some). Evidently I'm misunderstanding some of the prompts.  Can anyone tell me either how to get to my voicemail or where I can find out how to do this?  I've looked on the FT website, but it just gives rather general information about setting up the prompts, nothing specific to my problem. Thanks. Life is too tragic to be taken seriously.    Report

I find it difficult to understand the phone instructions.   Best of luck.   Chas..........    Report

Using a telephone can be quite a challenge for me in France, too. Life is too tragic to be taken seriously.    Report

If by that you mean the key towards the bottom right with two parallel horizontal lines and two parallel slanted lines (in the US we call it the number key or the pound key), you're right in my case.  Life is too tragic to be taken seriously.    Report

It's used to save/confirm that you have finished entering your information, so if it isn't pressed at the end of an operation (like entering PIN number, or top-up number) the system throws a wobbly.

Okay, now I get it.  I was hearing something that sounded to me like "touche piege" which made no sense, but they were saying was "touche dièse", i.e., the (musical) sharp sign.  Now it makes perfect sense.
