Tracfone question

[RossMAN]

Is it possible to disable voicemail or is it required?

[weechrd]

I have never tried to disable it, but if you do not set it up when you first register the phone then you will not get voicemails.

actually i get voicemails but can't retrieve them because i didn't sign it up to begin with.....

[RossMAN]

Is there a way to retrieve voicemails without using minutes?

[scrabbler]

Yes you can call from your home phone.

From a landline phone call your cell number, then once you start to hear your voicemail greeting, press *. You should then get a voiceprompt to enter your passcode. This should get you into your voicemail.

DD said she doesn't know her passcode, where would she have set that up?Thanks

When I first got my Tracfone a few weeks ago, my techie friend set it up for me. He sent me a voicemail. He pressed the retrieve message thingy and handed it to me.

 

There were over 600 messages! I guess the persone before me hadn't given out his new number.

 

I'll try this method of retrieving. thansk.

I Hate my Trackphone!! We got it for traveling and wouldn't you know it every place that I seem to go I am roaming!!! UGHHH I least if I need to I can still call jsut costs a arm and leg!

We have had tracfone for years... I love them. I've had regular cells too, but for the amount we use it, they're great! I always leave one in the car, that way it's always there if I need it. I can't stand to see people on their phones everywhere. If I go shopping or running errands, I don't want to be bothered anyways. They also send you so many coupons if you sign up for emails, that your minutes can get much cheaper.

My DH has a trackfone and his battery life isn't the greatest - but for what he used it for its just fine. I got DD (13) one for her birthday in Sept with referals and stuff she had 240 minutes on set up. She still has 1/2 of her minutes left to use by 12/21 or for me to get a new minutes which is on her Xmas list I may just get a 30 minute card and give it to her early then get other minutes for her stocking. She loves her phone! We have not set her voice mail up yet...

See this. It'll have instructions on how to set up your voicemail. It's funny...a few days ago I activated a TracFone and already had a couple voicemails. They were all election-related though.
