VX6100 customize voicemail number (*86)

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.verizon (More info?)

Nope, actually it's *86 (pause) enter your pwd, then press #. It works
fine when I use that from a stored contact. Just wish they let you
customize the builtin vmail callback.

I think I've heard vmail #'s and options are sometimes different in
various markets. I'm in Buffalo.

I'm sure you just mistyped, but it would be "*86TT#xxxx". Good luck!

That used to work on both my VX4400B and T720, but quit working a couple or
so months ago. I'm guessing that VZW changed something...perhaps sending
the VM callback no. with the VM message indicator. I've recently exchanged
the T720 for the VX6100 and it doesn't work there as well.

That's odd--it's the other way for me  .

Good, I no longer feel as if I'm living in a episode of "The Twilight Zone"
 .

Good luck!

I use the speeddial (key 1) which is labled for voicemail and it works just
fine. Was frustrated with the *86 limitation too.

When I received my VX6100 a couple of months ago, there were 5 different
quick start cards included in the literature, depending upon the area that a
VZW user is in. And, these 5 were just the southern gulf coast regions
(from Florida to Texas). I use *86Txxxx# (Houston area), but as I mentioned
previously, it no longer works with the VM callback notification.

Don't feel like you're in the twilight zone...this is really weird...has
anyone found a fix for this yet...read below to see my problem:

II have a very odd problem with my vx6100(one of them). We just bought 2 of
them and this is only a problem with one.

I can setup the voice mail # (menu, 4, 7, 6) to *86TTT123456(123456
represents my password) on one phone and it works any way that I access my
voice mail (command menu, speed dial, ok button).

However, on the second phone I set it up the same way, but it will only send
*86TTT123456 if I go through the speed dial menu. If I use the command menu
or push down on the OK button it will only dial *86. This is very strange.
I have checked every setting on both phones and they are identical including
firmware and everything else I can view.

I have also done a full reset as well as wiping my contacts and any other
data off of the phone

Has anyone else seen this problem?

Thanks,

Doug
