Whenever I try to access my voice mail, I get the following message.
"sorry we cannot complete your call, you do not have an active long distance add on and this call is not covered by your plan. get an add- on by calling *611."
But I asked my friend who has the exact same plan as I do, but he never had any issue with voicemail.
Solved! Go to Solution.

From another phone line, call your cell number. Once you get the voicemail greeting, press *, then your voice mail PIN, then you can access the voicemail setup system.
Have you set up your voicemail yet? Here is the information for setup...
Setting up Voicemail
After you’ve activated, your voicemail is automatically ready to accept messages as soon as you add it to your account. It will play a default greeting until you set it up. Setting it up isn’t complicated:
When you access your voicemail, your phone has to call one of the PM voicemail number. Maybe that number is not setup properly for some reason. Maybe do a network reset to clear the phone from any previous carrier information....

Instead of a long press on 1, try calling yourself. Does that work?

@tk1991, this is the official knowledge base covering the Voicemail feature. It is pretty simple from the provider end. What model of phone are you using and OS version?

What plan are you on?
If the $10 then maybe you're out of minutes.
If so then you could get the 200 minute add-on.
If not the $10 plan then is your plan active?
If so then try restarting the phone.
Or the lost/stolen trick.
Or the extra $1 trick.
The above even with the $10 plan.

Have you tried calling from another line. To see if it works?.just press * during the announcement and enter your pin.. This not a long term solution but at least you could
possibly retrieve voicemails until the moderators can help out.
