I called back and left a message on his voice mail.  Then I thought of
more to say and 10 minutes later I called again.  This time, and 5 times
there after, I immedialy got a message" the person you are tying to
reach has not set up his mailbox yet."   How can that be?

So maybe he's mad at me for not being there (although I think it just as
likely he was tired on a cold Saturday and didn't even come to my
house), but he could set his phone to DND, or block my number, or read
who's calling and not answer.  But how could he cause the system to say
he has not set up his mailbox????  Do we have that power?

I haven't looked up his provider yet, but I will if you think it makes a

My phone doesn't have voicemail.

 But probably your provider.
