how to add password to *86 voicemail (2024)

Bring up your voice mail contact, then use the menu button to edit contact. Mine looks like this *86,,XXXX# (obviously XXX being the password)
Use the bottom right key to shift when editing the contact number and use the pause button after the *86 and then your password, your pause may vary.

Many thx for the help. However, my *86 entry does not have a "rolodex" card beside it, only a "+". Menu doesn't give me an option to edit..... do I have to add it to "People"?

VZW Tech support finally got me the answer.... go to Settings - Call settings - Voicemail
There u can enter password!!!

So by adding the pause and password after this, it forgoes the need for manual password input? How do I do pause?

I thought it was weird it was *86 and not my actual phone#.

The displayed dial keyboard has a P and W key... Pause and Wait. Wait requires an actual flash/keypress. Pause is just a delay.

I used a single P. Prev phones called for multiple P's sometimes or the pwd was sent too soon.

I still cannot get this to work. After I enter the revised number *86,,,XXXX comes up and then I get a message saying "no changes were made".

Help!
