Bug Description

Many network operators store the Voicemail number in a special location on the SIM card so that when the user does a long press on the number 1 on the dialpad it automatically dials Voicemail.
If no Voicemail number is found then the user is prompted to enter their Voicemail number.

I'm not sure if we actually attempt to read the Voicemail number from the SIM card but it certainly does not seem to work with my Vodafone SIM.

We also do not appear to have any way for the user to enter their Voicemail number - unless I am missing it somewhere...

------ UX comment -------

Visibility and change of the Voicemail number should sit in application settings. Design is going to look at it as soon as possible.

thanks, that's somewhat the same issue than bug #1338970

you can look if your SIM has a voicemail number defined by using this command
" /usr/share/ofono/scripts/list-modems | grep Voicemail"
