Nothing garbled about the question

That's the bit of the string that tells it
you are changing the delay till voicemail

It isnt about showing you the phone number

The obvious way to check if its made up nonsense is to try turning
live voicemail off and see if that fixes the problem, fuckwit

It says nothing of the sort. Its what is at the beginning of the
USSD code to change the delay before going to voicemail

More of your mindless bullshit

Its what specifys that you are changing the delay to voicemail

More of your mindless bullshit

But says NOTHING about the fact that
it has no effect if live voicemail is on

There is no bullshit in that response
