One pesky thing I found with my iPhone 3G setup was voicemail. I did not see any documentation included with the phone of how to set it up (and even if it were in there, it shouldn’t require google if you are a skip-the-manual type). I tried pressing the voicemail button in the phone screen and it did nothing. I call my own number and  get a message stating voicemail has not been set up for [me]. Okay…I read some forum post about pressing ‘*’ when calling your own number to begin the setup process which worked for me. Upon googling, there were so many varied solutions that I think it has to do with the type of customer you are; whether you ported your number from another carrier, are a new customer to AT&T or are an existing customer who is upgrading. I am the latter. Either way, I wish the process weren’t so murky.
