Etisalat Mobile Voicemail

[firefox1]

Does anyone know how to get voicemail to work on Etisalat pay as you go mobile? I have subscribed to the service (dial 125 I think). I have then set up my own greeting (dial 123 I think), but cannot find how to "switch it on" so that when the phone engaged or after so many rings, it kicks in. Any ideas? Thanks.

It's under phone settings on your phone - call divert to voicemail!

I've tried that too! Phone comes up saying "request cannot be completed". I've double checked that I am subscribed to the etisalat voicemail service and that my own greeting is recorded. Still no joy.
