Checking one's voicemail is an easy task if they have their phone on hand that they want to check. However, what happens if someone doesn't have access to their phone, but are expecting an important message? There are ways in which an individual can check their voicemail on one phone without having direct access to that telephone. So long as you have a phone of some sort, you'll be able to access the voicemail.
Checking Voicemail
With a phone in hand, dial the phone number of the phone you're interested in contacting. For example, if you were calling your cell phone, you could either use your land line phone or another person's cell phone. Allow the phone to ring until it gets to the answering machine. Once the message starts to play, hit the star button. What this will do is prompt the phone to access the voicemail box.
An automatic recording should prompt you to put your voicemail box password or pin. End it with a pound, unless the recorded message says otherwise, and then allow it to connect to the voicemail box. Once you're in, you'll be able to access everything in the voicemail box. The recording will tell you how many messages are in the voicemail box and give you the options to listen, delete and save messages.
The key thing to note is that everything you're doing remotely will remain on the voicemail box after you hang up. Therefore, if you delete a message while on your land line phone, the message will be deleted on the cell phone permanately. Once the messages have been played, simply hanging up with disconnect the land line phone from the voicemail box.
