Voicemail Number Not Set

[KB-1981]

Hello,

I recently switching phones and when I try to access my voicemail, it says the number is not set. 

Checked a few threads and looks like I need to get in touch with @CS_Agent

Hoping someone can help.

Thanks!

@KB-1981, I've always accessed my voicemail by dealing my number on my own phone which is also mentioned in Public Mobile's article:

How To Access Your Voicemail From Another Phone

1. Call your phone number
2. When you hear your voicemail greeting, press the star key (*) to interrupt it
3. Enter your voicemail password when prompted
4. Follow the voice prompts to listen to your messages

Thanks @will13am I tried that, but still same issue.  I've reached out to CS

@BKNS27 

That's exactly what I did, but it still has that same error. 

I've reached out to file a ticket with CS

Usually the system would push the voicemail number to you.  Try reboot the phone couple times, and Reset All Networks.

if it still not pushed, then you need to manually set it.  You can set it on yoru dial app, settings, look for voicemail

You can set it to this number  778-580-4001

@eddieO, I'm just pressing and holding the "1" button for voicemail. I thought it was pretty standard for it to just be set.

How did you switch your account on the new phone?

All you need to do is put the old SIM in the new phone and your account will automatically switch over to the new phone including voicemail box.

@KB-1981 , the voice mail number is generally set by the network.  Try toggling airplane mode and deleting the cache on the phone app.

@KB-1981, are you dialing your own complete number from your new phone? Once it has been set I didn't think it would matter if you changed phones since it should be setup on your account

@KB-1981, To get a hold of a CS_agent you can open a ticket through the Chatbot:
https://widget.telus.tiia.ai/publicmobile/publicmobile.html
(and then type: Customer Support Agent)

Or, if you are having trouble with the Chatbot try sending a private message to:
