    I can't say that I'm impressed with the changes, particularly the move of
    my voicemail access to the 403 area code. I presume that this means that
    if I want to check my voicemail from a land line (which I usually do), I am
    now paying long distance charges. The alternative is to listen on my
    handset and use up more of my minutes.

    Either way, it's not a good change.

    Cheers!

    You can still call your own handset from a landline, send the call to
    voicemail, and go from there, no?

    I'm not sure. I suppose that it will depend on the restrictiveness of the
    "Removal of the option of leaving a message via the Voice Messaging access
    Number to a voice mailbox from a landline" change, which is also scheduled
    to occur on Monday for AB, SK, and MN customers.

    That's a different feature -- I wonder if that will hit Rogers customers
    too, as it is it's possible to both leave messages and retrieve messages
    by calling the access number directly.

    Handy when you want to leave someone a message, but not risk ringing
    their phone if it's inappropriate at the time.

    is fido going to change how they notify the handset of a new message.
    The current SMS telling a user of a new message is very unreliable.
    Rogers uses the VM indicator built in to a phone to notify of a new
    message. I am am out of range and miss the initial sms i will receive
    another SMS of a new message many hours later when it is too late to
    act on the message..

    Normally doesn't the network hold SMS messages sent when your phone is
    off? Or are VM SMS messages different somehow?
