Steps
- Go to your Contacts.
- Navigate to your voicemail listing.
- Click edit.
- Verizon's voicemail code is *86. Change this to *86P1234#, where 1234 is your password.
- NOTE: the 'P' above indicates a pause, so if your phone doesn't allow a 'P' try to replace it with whatever your phone will accept as a pause character (often a comma)
- If this does not work or takes a long time on your phone, try using a pound sign in place of a "P" (Example: *86#1234#).
- Save the contact.
- Check your voicemail. It should now sound equivalently like, "Please enter your ..." and then go straight to your inbox.
Tips
- Newer phones will have a key to press to insert the pause. This will insert the P for you.
- The voicemail prompt may take a bit longer to respond and so you'll have to add another 'P' (add pause) or two.
- Older phones may have to insert the P manually.
Warnings
- Anyone with access to your phone will now be able to sign into your voicemail, change settings, and change the password. Use with caution.
