 @Dar1971:

Did you read through this thread?

popping had most of it.

But first, go into your self-serve and Plan & Add-ons and Reset Voicemail Password.

Press and hold 1 in your dialer and it'll dial out to your voicemail.

It'll probably be asking for a password here so type in your phone number. (that's the reset password)

I'm not certain if this all works from a virgin voicemail but from what popping said earlier in the thread it seems to.
It should be in the main menu. So press 4.
Another kind of recording will play then press 4 again
Another kind of recording will play then press 5 this time
You'll probably hear English now so press 1
Hang up.

I tried, but it seems I didn't get into the main menu after I entered my password. so whatever number I enter, I couldn't get into the sub-menu correctly. I definetely need to find a French-speaking friend to help 😛

Okay.  I play with enough with my voicemail.  @Dunkman diagram is correct.

1.  You need to enter your voicemail password first before you get to the main menu.

2.  At the main menu, enter 4, 4, 5, then, it will speak English and French, select 1 for English.  Wait until it stop speaking before hitting the next number.  If you press the next number too quickly, it does not recognize the next number.

3.  When don't know where you are press "*" to return to previous menu.  If you press too many "*"s.  System will log you off.

 

Good luck.  Let me know your result.

You need to have a french speaking friend   Smiley Happy

@popping  thank you for reply.

I have reset my password by text, after I dial in my voicemail and enter my password, it starts speaking in French in length and whatever number I enter, it keeps talking in French.

The first time that I access my voicemail.  Voicemail asked me to create a passcode first.  I have another account has not setup the voicemail yet.  I will try that that qccount layer tonight and give you the number sequence.
