Error notice upon trying to subcribe to Visual Voicemail

[joethomz]

I am trying to subscribe to Visual Voice Mail on my Blackberry Bold and I keep getting an error notice. The error notice reads: "The server returned the following error while attempting to fulfill your request: 'Connection Timed Out'" 

Help!

Hi,

The most common cause for Visual Voice Mail (VVM) errors during setup is because the user did not call customer service to activate the feature.  From your device, call *611 for customer service and have the feature added to your account.  Then, proceed with setup and it will work.  Good luck.
