They are unable to modify the "New Upgraded (down graded) voicemail" to allow hearing newest message first and fast page (dont need to listen to the message before either save or delete) COMPLETE STONEWALL TACTICS! Cingular is making tons of airtime money on checking voicemail (I now spend 3-5 mins where previously only spent 1 minute) and saving big $$ on voice message storage by forcing its customers to deal with expiring messages prior to hearing new current messages. They should be sued for false advertising... Class action lawsuit anyone??? By the way, the system is outsourced and the type of system they are using is "proprietary information" that they cannot release<br>blasted771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6054102.post-49280343797506329832006-01-10T07:51:15.000-08:002006-01-10T07:51:15.000-08:00Ahh, thanks for the tips, particularly 7-7.It'...Ahh, thanks for the tips, particularly 7-7.<br>It's hard to change really bread and butter features for any product, particularly when there's zero apparent benefit to the user.<br>Habits form.

For years I've had to enter my PIN every time the voicemail answered, but now I don't have to. Why is that frustrating? My PIN starts with 7-7 (see above) and I'm programmed to start entering it as soon as the voicemail picks up.
