Getting to voicemail on Tilt

To me a touch-screen is about having the ability to get right to the information that I see on the screen. That's the minimum a touch-screen device has to offer. Of course, it is possible to get a lot more creative with touch-screen interface as demonstrated by various iPhone apps.

I am not sure why I am not able to tap open the voice mail on my AT&T Tilt. Every other item on the top row is interactive. Nothing happens when I tap on the voice mail icon.


Hopefully the upcoming version of Windows Mobile will address several such glitches that exist in the current version of this OS.

Thank you!!! I totally agree@ My wife and I had an argument tonight because of this exact situation. I had a voicemail icon on my tilt, and I was complaining about how I couldn't just tap it and it show me the notification bubble saying how many messages I had with an option to dial. Her response was, 'well you just dial 1, duh'. As if everyone knows this. I am a software engineer, and somehow I never knew this about any of the cell phones I have ever owned. Apparently, it's one of the universals of the technology industry, like F1 is for help in windows. Anyway, I agree that there should be a straightforward way to check voicemail on a WM device, but so far I haven't found one. Other than dialing 1!!!

1 does not work on my phone :(
I have been trying to check my voice messages for an hour (and even made my way to this blog cause of that).

How do you check voice mails on At&t Tilt?
(where 1 is not speed dial for voice mail)
