Activate Verizon Voicemail
Activating and configuring Verizon voicemail is necessary when you open a new Verizon Wireless account. Once configured, callers are redirected to your voicemail if you reject a call, are unable to answer it or are on the line with another caller. Verizon voicemail is included with all accounts, but you must call to personalize your account before callers can leave voice messages. Voicemail can be configured on your Verizon cell phone or from any touchtone phone.
Instructions
1. Dial "*86" on your Verizon Wireless phone and press the "Send" key. Alternatively, you can activate Verizon voicemail from a touchtone phone, which keeps you from using cell phone plan minutes to configure your voicemail. To do this, dial your Verizon Wireless phone number from any touchtone phone.
2. Press "#" to interrupt to voicemail greeting if calling from a touchtone phone other than the Verizon Wireless number for which you want to configure voicemail.
3. Enter the password you want to associate with your Verizon Wireless voicemail account when prompted. Press the "#" key to accept the password.
4. Record a personalized greeting when prompted. Begin recording after you hear a beep and press "#" to review and accept your personalized greeting.
5. Configure other mailbox options by following the prompts. You can select whether or not you want to require the voicemail password when checking your messages.
