answering machine

[jumppack]

if you get follow me service to your cell phone. if u dont take the call, will it go to FPL voicemail? and also is there any way of checking your phone messages from FPL away from the computer on any phone?

Yes it will go to your FPL answering machine.

FAQ is up as of 3am the 24th with Remote VM Access numbers.

Currently there are no access numbers in Calgary, Alberta.
Why?

Can't I simply call my own FPL number from a remote phone, enter a password, and listen to my voicemail the normal way?

[FONGO_kris]

I actually generated all of these on Thursday, I just need to finish up and point them to the original VM access number to make them work.

I'll get on that right away...

is there a way to do this? just calling my FPL # and pressing a key (like 0) to get the password prompt? Would be a nice feature to have

Unfortunately not, because the call doesn't technically start until you answer the phone, at which point it's too late to press #. The remote access numbers are the best we can do for away-from-home voicemail access

so even if I hear my greeting this can't be done? cause technically the call has been answered by your systems.
I have VM with my current VOIP provider and that is how their customers can check their VM remotely. (locally it's *98 as well)

maybe something to consider for a future enhancement

Oh okay, I didn't think that one through, I was thinking you were inquiring about doing that while it was initially ringing.
I'll pass the suggestion along and see if it's something our system would be compatible with in the future.
