Settings are pretty simple.

Follow the directions on the Youmail site to forward your voicemail calls to Youmail instead of the T-mobile number.

All that is left to do is to change what number is dialed when you hit the voicemail icon on your iPhone. To do this put in this code:

*5005*86*Your10digitnumber#

That will make the voicemail icon on the iPhone dial the Youmail number rather than the T-Mobile number.

@nchall Thanks for tracking down that syntax. I had luck with and I think you may have meant *5005*86*7142043114# instead of *5005*86*Your10digitnumber#.

7142043114 is YouMail's number to check voicemail.

Thanks for the info, always wondered how to get that button to go directly to youmail instead of T-Mobile voicemail. I love youmail. Pretty Sweet!

I've had YouMail for years... when I slid my SIM card from my sidekick into my unlocked iPhone... it worked flawlessly... but I finally decided to upgrade my SIM so I dont constantly have the red-voicemail-dot.

I've reset my inbound calls to go to the You-Mail service... but I cannot reprogram the voicemail key to dial YouMail. It keeps dialing t-mobile...

I've typed in *5005*86*7142043114# and I've even tried replacing the YouMail number with my own cell number... but it keeps just dialing t-mobile! I've tried restarting the iPhone... I can't fix it and it's driving me nuts! It was all working fine until I went and got a new SIM this morning... any suggestions to get my voicemail button working again, so I dont have to use a speed-dial??

EDIT:: Apparently, you cannot change the voicemail number for the newer style T-mobile SIM cards?? CLICK HERE FOR LINK Please tell me there is a workaround here? am I forever stuck with either a Permenant RED-DOT... or not being able to use the VoiceMail button?

Well, I solved my problem, but not good enough to help anyone else who may suffer from my issues.

I found an old T-mobile Sim card I'd been sent but never activated... its not as old as my 2003 one.... but also was not new enough to be the new 64K Sim Card. I called T-mobile and activated it... I put it in the phone... and I no longer have a permenant red dot! Plus, I can modify the VoiceMail dialing number!
