Get the answer already, for those who interested:
Goto Call Related Features->Call Diverting, key-in the number

17 ?
why its 17?
and what happen if u dont key in either 16 or 17? does it still work?
StratMan
except if you register for Celcom's Telemanager value added service. If I'm
not mistaken, Celcom GSM's standard voice mail service keeps your messages
for a paltry 3 days while Maxis retains your voice mail for 7 days. In
addition, with Maxis you can customize your voice mail with a personalized
greeting.
Here's a tip: From 019 to 019, you can directly leave a message into a
subscriber's mailbox even if he/she disables it from the handset. Just key
in 16, followed by the recipient's number (leave out the 019 prefix). It's
great for enticing the other person to call you back instead...;-)
The 16xxxxxxx and 17xxxxxxx makes no difference, the last time I
experimented. The VMS works something like this: if you key in '16' followed
by your own number using your own SIM card, you access your own voice mail.
If you key in '16' followed by another subscriber's number you don't access
his/her private vmail but enables you to deposit your message instead.

> 17? I thought it's 16. At least on my phone, I use 16XXXXXXX
16xxxxxxx to make a call to your voicemail box to receive
voicemail.
17xxxxxxx to enable other people to leave their voicemail
when they can't reach you through h/p.

That's the darndest answer I've ever heard from a Careline helpdesk....it's
very clear that you've mentioned Bangkok and not Padang Besar or Golok being
borderline towns. No GSM cell extends beyond the practical 30 km
limit....for the record, an NMT 450 system can go up to 100-150 kms while a
PCN cell is limited to less than 10 kms. I haven't visited a foreign country
which Celcom has roaming facilities with the local GSM operator yet...I
wouldn't know if their system-generated SMS messages are routed to to the
Thai operator. "Signal strength is still very strong" indeed....;-)

be educated in cellular telephony concepts, don't you agree? Did you know
that if you entered the code '050' for the Cell Broadcast you could monitor
which Celcom cell site your phone is communicating with?

Where do you get this display ?
I've key-in 050 under Broadcast.
And, I call to my h/p, it just shows with incoming call number,
no cell id display.

Cell Broadcast is transmitted about once in every 10-15 minutes or so. And
calling your own cellphone isn't *any* way of checking this. What model
phone do you have, which mobile service are you a subscriber to (I assume
it's Celcom GSM) and what is your location? Feel free to email me if you
don't feel like divulging personal info over this NG.

That's ok so that I can get the comments from others.
I'm using StarTacX with Celcom GSM service.
I call to my hp/ using my home telephone, is this correct ?
Or I've to use h/p to h/p ?
I'm in Bayan Lepas, Penang.

Basically, the display should read something like this...e.g. 12xxx BANGSAR
TOWN...or CMX4, depending on what the Celcom network engineers have named
their sites. The numbers denote the cell ID while the name refers to the
location where the BTS/RBS is. CMX means Cellular Mobile Exchange, I think.
Phones like the Ericsson GH337/388/688/S868 and Motorola 8x00 has the cell
broadcast features...and some Nokias. In case you're not aware, the cell
broadcast is periodically transmitted by the network...GSM operators in
Europe have long used this to transmit general information e.g. weather,
road conditions, public services, etc. AFAIK, Maxis does not xmit any cell
broadcast info yet.

I see that you're in Penang. That explains why you didn't get the Cell ID -
it's not due your phone...apparently Celcom does not not enable Cell ID for
the Penang, Perlis and Kedah. I'm not sure what the actual reasons are but
when I was working with Maxis I learnt that Celcom used AT&T equipment for
the base transceiver station for the northern region states. Traditionally
they use Ericsson for their BTS and mobile exchange (however Celcom is
changing all their radio base equipment to Ericsson, so I've heard). To make
my point, when I visited Penang a couple of times in the past few years I
noticed that I got no Cell ID at all.
If you have enabled the Cell Info, you can see the messages if you're in the
Central region states and Johor. Keep in mind that enabling cell broadcast
will utilize a bit more battery power.
Again, calling your own phone from any phone is not the method to check cell
broadcasts. In fact, there are no known methods at all! If your phone
displays cell ID from Celcom's network (not system-generated SMS), then you
are in the region where they have implemented cell info, that's all.

sorry, then why did u mention about keying-in the 050 code?
what do u really mean by that? and which brand of phone did u refer to?
thanx..
StratMan
1. Cell broadcast is a network-generated message targeted to subscribers in
certain areas.
2. You need to key in codes to receive special messages from the network
operator. These messages are not to be confused with SMS.
3. Celcom GSM is the only operator I know to transmit cell station ID. (code
050).
4. AFAIK, Celcom GSM sends these broadcasts in Central and Southern regions
only. They have not activated it for the northern states.
5. Your GSM phone must have Cell Broadcast capability. As a guideline most
low-end GSM phones don't support this. Handsets I have personally seen the
Cell ID include: Ericsson 337/388/688/S868/768, Motorola 8200/8400/8700 and
Nokia 2110/6110/8110.
6. Enabling Cell Broadcast on your phone will use up a bit more battery
power.
For Ericsson GH 688, go to Mail ->Area Info ->Edit List... and enter 050.
Then make sure Area Info is activated. For Motorolas, Cell Broadcast is
available in the Message settings.
