Voicemail issues

[choalberto]

Hi, I'm a new Public user. 

I have problems setting up my voicemail. After the prompt ask me about "a voicemail number" I add my 10 digits phone number and the voice say that the voicemail is incorrect. I try several times from different phones and the answer is always that same.

Any idea how to fix this issue? Thanks.

You have to use your phone with PM SIM for initial voice mail setup. Do not use vmail number from other phone for initial vmail setup.

If you are on $15 Plan, it will use your minutes. I set up my vmail a day before renewal 🙂 as minutes get refreshed next day.

Unfortunately I tried all that and not luck. Thanks.

Are you able to make calls, accept calls, text in both directions, browse internet not on wifi? Can you login to your account? If so try the reset voicemail password which will set it to your 10 digit phone number.

Hi @choalberto   I think the VM wasn't setup properly on the system.  Please open ticket with CS Agent.

Yes, I already tried pressing 1 and the answer is invalid voicemail.

Using this number 1-778-580-4001 give me the sam problem, the answer is invalid voicemail.

Are you referring to the VM PIN?

Do you call your number to get to voicemail or do you call a voicemail access number?

Try dialing 1-778-580-4001. It shouldn't ask for anything unless you set up the password request for accessing while on the device.
