Getting Your DROID to Enter Your Voicemail Password
Normally, you have to type in your voicemail password or PIN every time you call
voicemail. This tip will allow you to have it automatically entered for you by your DROID:
1.
Start your Contacts app.
2.
If you see a contact called Voicemail , press
the Menu button and select Edit . Otherwise,
create a new contact and call it
Voicemail
.
3.
In the phone number box, type *86,,,nnnn# ,
where
nnnn
is your four-digit voicemail
password or PIN. You will need to tap the *#(
key to see the Pause key. Each comma ( , ) is
really a two-second pause. Remember to put
the pound sign (
#
) at the end of your entry.
4.
Now you can call the Voicemail contact and
have it automatically dial your password. You
can make this process even easier by
associating your
Voicemail contact with your
speed dial for the number 1 . This will enable
you to access your voicemail with a single
long-press of the
1 key on your phone’s
dialpad.
5.
Start your Dialer app, press the
Menu key, and select Speed dial
setup .
6.
Tap the Minus key to the right of the top
speed dial to remove it.
7.
Now tap the top item ( 1 ) to set it as the
Voicemail
contact that you just edited or
created. It should look similar to the screen
shown to the right when you are done.
