URGENT: Voicemail

sarahwasif — Thu, 19 Jan 2023 20:34:03 GMT

How do I check my voicemail without setting it up? I don’t want to record a greeting or do anything. I just want an automatic voicemail that says leave a message at the beep. And I urgently need to check my voicemail right now but it keeps telling me to recording a greeting.

@sarahwasif

only takes a moment to set up voicemail greeting message...

To retrieve your voicemail messages from your mobile device, you can either:

Hold down the 1 key on your phone keypad, or
Dial 1 + your 10-digit phone number, then press send or call

my question was how do I check my voicemail without setting up a greeting. I don’t want to do it. It’s not about how many seconds it takes. I don’t want a personal greeting. Please answer my question properly.

@sarahwasif You don't have to set up a greeting for your voicemail (I haven't), and you can leave it with the default greeting which just lets the caller know whose number they've reached and give them an option to leave their message.

However, I'm not sure if you do need to open your voicemail settings (long press "1") and then listen to the menu and accept the settings as is or not first to access the voicemail.

edit: @sarahwasif Long press "1" on your phone's keypad to access voicemail.

When I long press 1 or dial my number it asks for my password and then starts telling me to set up a greeting. It doesn’t say “press bla bla bla to check ur voicemail messages”. I can’t check my messages without setting up a greeting (I guess)

@sarahwasif Then say nothing and hit pound button as if you were done making a greeting and it will just go to voice mail no greetings
