Voice Mail Password setup

[socal sxt]

How do you get your password to work so that when you call your voice mail it automatically enters your password after it dails. It was easy on the BB but I cant figure it out on the Incredible.

Go to Settings>Voicemail settings then select Voicemail number. Once there you should see the voicemail number as *86. Now just add a pause by putting a p after the *86. You may have to add 2 pauses. After adding the p you can now add your password right after it. For instance, mine looks like this: *86ppXXXX where XXXX is my password.

Hope this helps.

Can you use youmail?
I assume one could?

 

[indianajonze]

aha got it. use a comma, not the p. so it should be *86,XXXX

I'm having trouble with my youmail app, voicemail don't show up for an hour no matter what my poll settings are, and I'm not receiving texts alerts when I have a voicemail...don't know if it's the phone or because I ported my number over from AT&T....I'm getting the run around from Verizon saying that they don't support 3rd party apps, and I'm getting the run around from Youmail support saying that I have to get with the carrier...go figure...I uninstalled Youmail and now I'm waiting on an invite for Google Voice.

Thank you very much, as I am New to Android and was trying to accomplish this same task, and that missing step of (Call) was misleading me. So many thanks for clariying it. Worked perfectly now!

Thanks, I didn't know you could do this. I used the comma and it worked.
