voicemail

hi,

when i’m retrieving voicemail calls, is there a shortcut to avoid having to hear the incoming callers phone number.  so just get their message without hearing their phone number first

Check out the free plan of the 3rd party voicemail service YouMail.com. If the caller has Caller ID Name Display, YouMail will capture it and include it in the email they send you with a copy of the voicemail attached as a sound file, and the speech-to-text transcription.

Their service is compatible with Public Mobile when specifying "Telus Mobility" and conditional call forwarding changes that they give you the instructions for during setup.

It would be great if there were!

@KarenC66 There is no such setting.

You can inhibit the behaviour you describe by changing this setting once logged into your voicemail:

4. Personal preferences

2. Playback Preferences

2. Disable playing of the caller ID

👍Here's the infographic I cobbled together to go along with those steps. You can turn off date/time too.
