Checking voicemail without calling an access number?

Post by pete_fpl »

Searched the forums and couldn't find anything on this, but is there a way to check your voicemail without calling the access number and inputting your # and password? I'm using an ata for home phone, so it'd be nice to dial just "1" like you can do on cell phones.

you have to program on your phonebook *98

cellphone is different than phone home so dial *98 it's not that hard

you can also do it by calling your own number from the ATA, but *98 is probably quicker :)

I don't know what world you're living on, but *98 is tons harder than 1 :mrgreen:

I just didn't know if there was a shortcut to the voicemail :)

Shorter than 3 keypresses? Wow .... now I have heard just about all the complaints. ;-) I sure hope you are joking ... if not, all I can say is WOW.

Had to check --- hard to tell, if we were drinking beer and chewing peanuts, I would have been able to read you faster! ;-)
