Actually, it was working from 123, it was retrieving messages from the outside that was failing.
For some reason it would not vlaidate the password and the minute I went into vpanel and resaved the same password, I was able to get in.
I'm fine testing the new platform since I have not yet given out the number in wide release until we have all finished testing.
More observations: The record your personal message (choices 1 through 9) play the last numeric value recording you choose so it "overwrites" the previous choice.
