Voicemail password help

[SCbarber]

How do you set your voice mail so it automatically dials your pass code w/o having to enter it all the time? TIA.

There's something on the Forum about that--I saw it-but it didn't work for me--

Put a comma or two between dialing the number and the PIN.
Ex: *86,,1111.

When entering the number you can hit the *#( key and it has a pause key.

Or, switch to Google Voice...much better.

This does not work for me at all. Any ideas why?

 

[pool_shark]

No idea, it works fine for me.

I have sort of figured out my problem. If I call voice mail through contacts or by tapping the notification when I get one, it will dial the password. However, using the voice mail app will not dial the password. Does anyone else experience this?

What is google voice? I have visual voicemail is it basically the same thing?

It's visual voicemail and then some...and it's free instead of paying $2.99 a month for visual voicemail.

You can listen to your voicemails on the web, you can have them emailed to you, and it will even transcribe them into text (not very accurate, but can give funny results).

If you get a Google voice number, you can even send/receive texts via the web.

I dropped visual voicemail as soon as I got Google Voice...oh, and did I mention it's free?

I have the same problem. I can't figure out how to change the voicemail app to dial my password. Did you ever figure it out?

 

[SCbarber]

Not yet, have no clue.

Thanks for the reply, SCbarber.

If anyone ever figures it out, I would LOVE to know. For the time being, I replaced the voicemail app shortcut on my home screen with a quick contact widget for voicemail. It's not as pretty, but it works. Ultimately, I'd like to use the voicemail app shortcut, because I'm OCD like that.

No, I still have not figured this out. I might try your idea about using the contact widget, though.
