Voicemail

Hi,
Is there any way to stop voicemails starting with reading the mobile number first?
I'd rather have the voice message first, to see if I need to ring back.
rather than having to sit through the reading of the telephone number of the missed call.
Many Thanks
Liam

    voicemail
    opt 4 - mailbox settings
    opt 0 - other options
    opt 4 - how played
    opt 2 - how played
    then select "message body only" (default is headers and message body)

    then after listening to the message body, or anytime , press "#" it'll read the number out, and call it

    LiamMcL_2463092 I don't think so.

    Surely, you need to know who left the message before listening to something that may drone on for ages. You can then decide if you are even going to bother listening to it.

    I imagine that the voicemail system sorts messages by the originating number and so I'm not sure how it would announce a message if not by giving the number it came from.

      For me , I prefer to listen to the message first.
      I can tell if it junk within a few seconds.
      My other supplier , vodafone played the message first, and at any time I could pres 5 , and it  would read out the digits and call the mobile.
