Auto dial your password for voicemail?

[Newport Viper]

How can you have your voicemail password auto dialed when you press #1 on ICS?

go to your phone dialer then the three dots at the top right. Settings will come up and then go to voicemail settings, voicemail number then after *86 put pause then your password. You can find pause when you press the *# button. I had to put a # after my password to get it to work. So it looked like this
*86,,XXXX# (XXXX = my password and the ,, were the pause symbols).

I agree, Davey. Thank you Titan!!

I stared at the keypad but I couldn't make the "pause" function appear. The "*#" key was the key...

Love this place...

have you thought about google voice. I only use it for voice mail. All i need to do is open the app and hit play for each msg.

I've got an LG Optimus running under Verizon.

This solution is NOT working for me. I was told that each comma was supposed to delay dialing for 2 seconds. I started testing with 2, and I'm now up to 10. No matter how many commas I enter, the poc dials the password almost immediately. Adding the # did nothing to change this.

(Side note, since I found a workaround: modifying the actual VM number was impossible. I would make changes, and click save. It would revert back to *86 every time. I have now entered the VM number I want to use, including commas and password, and put it under speed dial #2.)
