so many things going wrong

i asked for voicemail extra to be activated about two weeks ago so i could remote access my ansaphone as i travel a lot.  it still wasnt working 8 days later and so i did the livechat thing.  they said 'should be working shortly' and were useless (huge time delays before they answered questions, then answered like a robot (or is it a robot, not sure).  i looked at my account online today, another 6 days later and it still said "voicemail extra awaiting activation" so i did livechat again and they said it should be working even if it doesnt say so on my account !  i cant test it because i'm not home and they havent sent me any emails saying it's active and i've not received a remote PIN to activate it.  he said he couldnt help me !!!!  i've got copies of the transcripts which i want to use to complain as i'm now paying for an add on i cant even use and dont even know for sure if it's still awaiting activation or is working because i  cant get a straight answer.  and i've no remote access PIN to check.  i got no apologies for the huge delays, no explanation of why my online account is saying something different to what he's telling me, no reason for no email or pin, nothing!  just more frustrated and angry.  i could cry, and then i found they'd sent me something on 9th september saying i'd canceled my voicemail which i didnt!!  all i did was ask for voicemail extra to be activated.  here it is >>

Re: so many things going wrong

I'm sorry to hear about the issues you've had.
Unfortunately with Voicemail Extra you have to set the remote PIN from your landline at home and there's no way we can do this remotely I'm afraid
