I have a somewhat convoluted way of getting the voice mail number changed from '55999' to '*97'.
The telnet/ftp setting must be enabled as I did this through the command shell.
1. Go into MENU - > SETTINGS -> System Settings -> Technical features -> Telnet/ftp services -> Telnet/Ftp disabled. Enable? -> Yes.
2. Telnet into the phone. Use the root login and password root:lvp2890
3. Once in...
Code:
cd /usr/local/lgvp
cp setting_save.py setting_save.py.backup
vi setting_save.py
4. Find the line
voice_mail_number='55999' and change it to read
voice_mail_number='*97'. Save the file.
5. Once you have saved the file do this next...
The phone should reboot in a few seconds.
6. If you check the settings via the phone's menu, you will see it is now set for '*97' instead of '55999'.
Now, when you go into MENU -> SERVICES -> Voice mail or when you get a voice message (hitting the DIAL button), it will dial '*97'.
I rebooted the phone and changed some of the settings and this seems to be holding. Let us all know if you experience anything differently.
