You could even skip "Step 1" above. It isn't necessary.

Hi iamdrumming, I got a bit of problem to setup the voice mail on both my Speakout phones.

When I hold the 1 button the first time, it poped up a text box asking me to enter the voice number, I have thought it is the passcode, so I entered it. then the phone was trying to call the number I just entered, and said the number cannot be connected and handed off. If I try to hold 1 button again, it automatically calls the number I entered before, and failed. So I am screwed. However I can accesss the voice mail from landline without problem, but still consider it would be handy to just able to access voice mail through SO phone itself.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Welcome to SpeakOut!

Voicemail is not activated automatically. Just your number is the first time you use your phone.

Hold down the 1 button on your SpeakOut phone. It will then call the voicemail number already programmed into your phone.
From there, you will be able to set up the voicemail options such as recording your name, greeting etc. Also, you will set your password. The default password is the last 4 digits of your phone number, but you can change that easily.

iamdrumming & bylo, thanks a lot for all your help.

I tried all methods you mentioned above, but unfortuantelly none of them worked, they all based on that I have already have a correct mailbox number setup on my phone. Take the method, Menu -> Messages -> Voicemail , for example, it shows the wrong number I entered before.

Finally, I solved the problem by asking the mailbox number from a workmate who also has a SO phone. It is an easy way, isn't it? (:>

Again, thank you for your help.

anyway to change the # of rings before it goes to VM?

are they any other *#xx# codes iamdrumming?
