Voicemail does not work all the times

After I've upgraded my iphone to version 2.0 and recorded new greeting message voicemail got wierd. It happens only when iphone is ON. Every second or third time somebody calls me and I don't answer, it would ring four times (as it suppose to), then clicks, and instead of voicemail there is silence... no greeting, no beep, nothing... Some times it warks just as it should. That's random. When iPhone is OFF, voicemail works all the times.

I've spent almost 6 hours on a phone with AT&T and then Apple. No one of them could troubleshoot the problem. We've done all the resets (of both iPhone and provider).

What's going on? Who can help? Thank you.
