Best solution for porting home number, but likely no OBi
Rick:
It's a very dumb phone, an LG VX5400 made for Verizon. I cannot find any way to disable the message, and have sent an email to LG support.
Because they have no wired internet connectivity, I haven't considered an OBi. Today I'm going to take a reading of their WiFi speed, I did run a test prior but want to do it in the room the device would be in. As I recall, it was around 4 both up and down.
I'm very hesitant to introduce technology into the environment that might be quirky, I don't want support going on and on... I might just focus on getting them to understand to make a call (they don't make many) they have to get the message to go away by pressing OK or End (I will see today if End works).
I ported their home number to the cell.
ianobi:
I agree - keep it as simple as possible.
These type of threads throw up some interesting ideas. I see more than 300 people have read it so far, it may well have helped others with similar projects.
Rick:
I checked this morning and the WiFi signal is inadequate in their room, so either it's keep it this way and they figure it out or we add wired internet and an OBi.
ianobi:
How about finding a different dumb cell phone. I find friends and family have them sitting around doing nothing after they have upgraded to something "smarter".
Any dumb cell phone that just gives you "missed message" with no choices / user input would do.
Rick:
Right, that's an option. I'm waiting to see if LG responds that it can be disabled somehow. We sell all of our old phones so I have no inventory to pick from.
