Default Voicemail and default settings on Treo 650 (Cingular)

Last summer, my voicemail quit working on Cingular - I found out when a client called my home phone saying he couldn't get into voicemail calling my mobile number. That's how I found out that Cingular had reconfigured their voicemail system, and I had to dial a new number to set up my voicemail preferences, and dial that same new number henceforth to get my messages.

After being frustrated by my inability to change the Voicemail defaults on my Treo 650 ("1" key - the "favorites button" doesn't seem to be re-configurable for voicemail), I developed a workaround, by dragging that button to a later screen, and replacing it with a new favorites button with the updated voicemail number and assigning it the hot key "V". This works fine, *except* that when I get the new voicemail notification (alarm), it provides me the option to dial directly to voicemail, using the old (unalterable?) assigned number. Ditto from the "2Day" screen, which must be using the same default.

Does anybody know how I can change this? It's not a major problem, but I'm getting sick of the extra steps to get my voicemail.
