Step 5: Dial the voicemail number

Depending on your carrier or service provider, you may need to dial a specific number to access voicemail. Check with your provider for instructions if you’re unsure.

Step 6: Wait for the connection

Your call to voicemail may take a few seconds to connect. Be patient and wait for the automated voice instructions.

Once you’ve listened to a message, you’ll usually have the option to save or delete it. Follow the voice prompts to choose your preferred action.

Step 10: Check for additional options

Some voicemail systems offer additional options, such as managing message folders and changing greetings. Listen for these options and press the corresponding key if interested.

Step 11: Disconnect from voicemail

To end your voicemail session, simply hang up the call or press the designated key (usually “*” or “0”) as instructed by the automated voice.

Step 12: Secure your phone

After completing your voicemail session, remember to lock your phone by pressing the power button or using other security measures.
