How Do I Listen To My Voicemail While On Holiday?

August 8th, 2008 by admin

Summer is here and with it the vacation season. Millions of us will be jetting off abroad for some summer sun and so the question of how to receive our voicemail arises.

In short, how do I listen to my messages when on holiday?

While the answer will differ slightly depending on what provider you are with the process should be pretty similar.

Essentially your voicemail has it’s own telephone number. You don’t normally need to know this because it is accessed from your own phone by just keying in a short code but you can also access this mailbox number form any other phone line if you know the number and the pin code to access it.

Typically you choose the pin initially and can then just dial your voicemail number followed by your pin code from anywhere in the world to listen to any messages. Contact your network to find out your specific mailbox number.

Lastly, be aware that when abroad it will typically be cheaper to call this number from a landline that to try and access your voicemail on your mobile phone. The reason for this is that your mailbox is actually based in your home country so accessing it on your mobile is like making a call back home from a mobile phone so can get very expensive.
