How do I retrieve voicemail on Fido

[Lisa13]

The speed dial 1 does not work for my call answering. It disconnects when I hold it. How do I fix this?

Hey @Lisa13!

If you are using an iPhone, the instructions are on the first post of this post

Let me know which type of phone you are using, I'll help you with that!

When I try to set up my new voicemail, it tells me that my 10 digit number is "invalid".  Please help.

Hey Laureens,

Can you make sure you have the correct retrieval number set up on your phone? You will only need to follow the steps from the first post.

Hi gogi!

You should be able to press and hold the #1 key on your phone to access voicemail. If you're using an Android and your phone does not have the voicemail centre number stored, go to Settings > Call Settings > Voicemail Settings > Voicemail Number and input +1 416-821-6549.

To store the number on a iPhone, dial *5005*86*+14168216549# then tap Call (hold down 0 for a few seconds to get the + sign). This will only work if you don't have a Visual Voicemail.

I'm a former Bell subscriber, using my unlocked phone for Fido prepaid.

The Voicemail number I entered was +1-416-821-6549, got it from the following page:

http://www.fido.ca/web/content/addon/pre_voice_messaging

When I call my voicemail need to enter my mobile number to use the service.

With Bell I was taken directly to my inbox (after entering the password).

Does one of these other posted numbers go directly to the inbox,

or is ther a 611 equivelent for voicemail,

or is fido voicemail very incovienent?

EDIT:  By the time finished submiting an answer, i see issue was resolved  😕

[TomtiLaBan]

Ok all fixed up, eventhough my account was active and my plan has voicemail, the voicemail was never activated on my account.

1-416-821-6549 now takes me directly to my voice mail, and the helpful rep credited me back the long distance charges from the first few attempts
