Setting up *86 as a contact without typing password

One of the best tips i've ever gotten about my phone. Makes it so much easier to check my voicemail while i'm driving.

Nevermind. I found it. Thanks again.

Glad to help. I believe if you get the upgrade version it will allow you to read the vm

Google voice is a good option and also transcribes your VM for free. The transcribing isn't always very great though.

I second the Google Voice option. I moved across the country and was able to get a free local number that forwards all calls to my old cell #. Great for job applications, etc. You can show you have a local # as well, without having to call everyone and get rid of the old # you've had forever. On top of that, you get the VM transcription and also texting for free by changing your GV settings to turn off SMS notification. If anyone texts your GV # it sends the text to the GV app. and bypasses Verizon SMS.

The whole trick with using the # and , symbols does not seem to work reliably....it will work maybe half the time. it usually just says the password is incorrect. I got pissed off after like the 10th error. Tried adding extra delay with extra , as well. It rarely helps.

Switched to Google Voice. Best decision I made. Screw wasting minutes calling default voicemail with that slow ass auto-voice.

Google Voice.. No password and better voicemail.

Yea, but Google Voice counts against your minutes. If I leave Verizion for Google Voice, then I don't get free Verizon to Verizon anymore.
