Hi there!
I have looked through at least a dozen threads on this topic, but the common reply of texting VM OFF to 150 does not work for me. I have also tried texting VM ON and then VM OFF, still no luck. I am met with the reply of 'Sorry, we're having some trouble completing your request at the moment. Please try again later.'
I have been trying this on and off for a few months and it is always the same reply.
I am pay as you go, if it is relevant.
Does anyone have any suggestions for me, please?
Thank you and have a lovely day!
Solved! See the answer below or view the solution in context.

Hi @Leanne_T
The codes VM ON or VM OFF to 150 haven’t worked for many many weeks now.
Do you have the ability to flag this internally so the relevant owner can investigate and fix?
Assuming you do have that route in but worth the question just in case you don’t 👍

Hi @_MrR_
This would need to be checked on an individual account basis to see what could be causing this and create a support ticket for your number if needed to be looked into by the relevant team, please call us and the customer care team will be happy to help.

I've been onto EE customer service. It's a known issue that's being worked on with no solution date. Apparently it's the majority of customer service calls, so much so that the technical team have asked agents to stop raising individual's tickets as they have enough now and have recognised that is an issue.
The customer service agent is giving me a callback at the end of the week to follow up, and could only advise to keep checking the text switch VM ON/OFF daily in the hour that it may have been resolved.

Thanks for the reply @thejonsalt - I would assume that as it's affecting such a large volume of people then it would already be on someones radar and you've confirmed that.
@Leanne_T - Appreciate your reply as well but think this thread has yet again highlighted the gap between the community forum team and the rest of EE. It's as if you guys don't have the same level of access as regular customer care.
Is there a way to feed this back? As if you and your team were actually aware of known issues then you'd be able to be proactive and reassure forum users and also (more importantly for EE) be able to stop contact into the contact centres. After all, that's the aim of the game these days.
Is this something you can feed back through your hierarchy or would it need to come from me?

Hi @_MrR_,
The Community Support Team can't access individual accounts via the forum. For any individual account issues that require account access, you can connect with our live chat at ee.co.uk/contact-ee.
We can view all known issues and are in daily contact with our incident management teams to share any trends we see in the community.
With some issues, we still need to refer customers to technical support so their account can be added to the ticket to help our supports teams identify the cause of the issue.
This is no longer the case with this particular issue and are support teams are currently working on a fix.
Hope this helps.

Hi @James_B
Thank for your reply.
I fully understand your point around not being able to access individual accounts as you're here to sign post customers to the appropriate support channels and that makes sense.
My point is, if you see a theme on the forum such as this one, a volume of people saying "there's a problem turning voicemail on and off" then there needs to be a way of your team flagging this a trend / theme internally? You don't need individual account access to flag a theme. You'd obviously still need to tell individual customers to contact in to get the issue quantified.
For this issue specifically, it was @thejonsalt who came back to the forum to say it's a known issue and being worked on. That will save others from having to contact in. You're now able to sign post it as a known issue. But my point being, it should be the forum team who able to do that. It would have saved Jon a call in.
So my suggestion is, a two way process between the forum team and the business. So you can raise themes / noise from he forum and in return. Your team are able to refer to a known issues list when replying to posts.
It seems like a no-brainer that the community is here to stop customers having to contact customer care where appropriate.
