As previously posted - when someone, friend or telemarketer, leaves you a voice mail it counts as voice minutes. The following are the steps one can take in order to control their Voice Mail.

@cmatassa   calling voivemail is a form of call forwading.

oficially:

and does not use my minutes?

Uses Minutes Doesn’t Use Minutes Making a call Answering a call Retrieving or leaving voicemail messages Using call forwarding Calling *611 (the IVR) Making or receiving calls from 911 Using calling apps when connected to Wifi

but this is an interesting observation:

@mimmo are you saying that if you call your voicemail from another phoneline (say your landline) it will still count towards your Public Mobile minutes?

I would expect that if you call from your landline or from a friend's phone it will count towards THEIR minutes or your landline's minutes, not you PM minutes.

@cmatassa  from what i recall from the discussions (unless things have changed)  any call to your voicemail will count as minutes used no matter what device you all from.

For some reason I can't see the image you posted.

But yes, calling voicemail from your phone will count as minutes.  Alternatively, you can call in from a landline or a friend's phone, just call your PM phone number and once you hear your outbound message, press the "*" key.
