I called my home (yes, I have a land line), it took an extra second or two before the other line started ringing, and when my phone picked up and I entered the code to check my messages at home, it took a few seconds to switch to voicemail. Then it wouldn't accept my PIN code, even though my cell screen showed I entered the correct numbers. Strange!

Outbound calls from Redmond work fine. Inbound calls are going straight to voicemail.
Retreiving voicemail works fine.
