I press 1 and it asks for an acces code. How do I create it?

When I call my voicemail it says I don’t have access to voice messaging and suggests 611 for help then hangs up the call. 

Hey @marie-eveo

 

Welcome to the Community!

 

Did you make any changes to your account/line recently? It could be the reason why you don't have access to it

 

But no worries, you can definitely contact us and we'll update that with you Smiley



Hey @marie-eveo!

 

Were you able to get this sorted out? Are you now able to access your voicemail?

No my voicemail still isn’t accessible. After call 611 they instructed me to turn on and off my device then to try again but there was no luck there. 

Hey @marie-eveo

 

Were you able to figure this out on your end? 

Let us know if you need help Smiley



Are you calling your voicemail by pressing and holding the number 1 on your keypad?

 

Are callers able to reach your voicemail and leave you a message?

When I press and hold 1 I reach my voicemail but I have no access to it. No incoming callers can leave voice messages. 

Hey @marie-eveo

 

That definitely doesn't sound right. 

 

We'll need to take a look at the account in order to see why this is happening. 

 

I'll be sending you a PM shortly, let's continue there! Smiley

I have tried many times to set up voicemail without success. I cannot create a voicemail code and my cell number is not accepted either. How do I set up voicemail?

@Meg576 I think you should call customer service because something is definetly not right from what you are saying.

Voice mail feature was not activated. After contacting customer service, voicwe mail is now working.

@Meg576 I'm glad you were able to get it working.



@Meg576 When you press and hold 1 on your phone what happens?
