I have Verizon and am forced to type my voicemail password in everytime. It cannot be overwritten in the personal options on the voicemail side.

I've gotten around this on the phone by adding pXXXX where XXXX is my password into the actual phone number. However, with the Infiniti I can't configure my phonebook with a p or a comma. Has anyone else figured out how to put a pause in to allow for password entry afterwards?

Thanks,
Brian

 

oops, wrong thread, actually I didn't figure it out

 

Ok... how did you do it? I'd love to be able to do it myself.

 

Actually I didn't figure it out, I thought I was replying to a different thread I started.

 

Hmm, I don't know, but is there in call options?

On my motorola bluetooth I can bring up a menu via a button, and say "dial number" while mid call

 

The goal is not to touch the phone!

 

Hey guys,
This is another RTFM question . When you need to enter your password press the phone button on the steering wheel again and say your password number. The number will dial and you're into your voicemail. This is how you enter responses to auto prompting as well. It's in the manual somewhere.

 

Again not what I asked. I'd prefer not to spit out my password via voice, especially when company is in the car. I'd prefer just to have it automatically go through.

Thanks though, I'll use that if worse comes to worst.

 

Exactly. That's not what I asked either. I've RTFM'd. If you Read The Freaking Post (RTFP), you'd realize that's not what either of us are asking for.

 

get cingular

 

haha, I'm not sure if you can still do this but... the VM system used to be based purely on caller ID.

If you ran a PBX (like I do), you can set the caller ID for each phone number in the PBX...

So back when I was with Cingular, I had my caller ID of my desk phone set to the same as my cell phone -- VOILA! No password!

 

I embeeded my password as part of my phone number on my cell (Blackberry 8800) and it of course works fine there... I have not yet uploaded my phone address book...has anyone tried to do that...does it ignore or accept the pause/comma's ??

 

Your password is XXXX? That's not very secure...





I have cingular too, which automatically connects to VM, but I haven't been able to program the pause (in 'symbols': #, -, ...) into the G's phone book...

 

I don't......

 

I just got an 8830 -- I'll have to see how I can do that.
