How to setup dialing automatic pin for Voicemail - verizon app

[Dansole]

Hi,
I'm using the Verizon Voicemail app - but not the Virtual voicemail - When I check voicemail it only dials *86 and not my pin.

I have the pin added under People - voicemail - I also changed it under Settings- Call - voicemail settings but it still only dials *86 -

Any suggestions?

Thanks
Dan

How did you add the PIN? Did you edit the number to add a pause in between *86 and your PIN? The pause character is either a "P" or a comma. You might have to add two of them, to extend the pause enough.

Yes two commas.

So you used two commas, and it doesn't register? How about trying two P's instead?

I also followed the instruction here and it doesn't work. My chat rep at verizon couldn't even help me. If you edit the contact for Voicemail, *86,,PIN# mine doesn't work. It still asks me for the pin anyway. Ideas anyone??? I had this working for my old phone but can't for the life of me get it to work now.
