Free voicemail retrieval on T-mobile (if you have access to free mins to mobiles)

liu

Both me and my wife have T-mobile contracts. We have to pay a whopping 10p a go to retrieve our voicemail. :rotfl:

However we have an abundance of free minutes.

So I set up a pin for my voicemail which means I can access my messages from other phones by doing the following:

Set a Pin




This protects your voicemail and lets you pick up your messages from any touch-tone phone. Pay monthly customers can also use it to pick up messages from abroad:

1. Call your voicemail
2. Select 'Personal options' followed by 'To change mailbox features' and follow the instructions

Once I set the pin, if you receive a voice message, I call my mobile phone from another phone (usually my wifes since its free to do so and included in her minutes).

Checking your messages
Via other phone



This protects your voicemail and lets you pick up your messages from any touch-tone phone. Pay monthly customers can also use it to pick up messages from abroad:

1. Call your T-Mobile number
2. Interrupt your voicemail greeting by pressing #
3. Enter your PIN number (not sure how to set-up a PIN, find out how)
4. Listen to your messages

Sounds complicated but its really easy.

Once the above has been completed and a PIN is setup on your voicemail, you can also call your own phone number from your handset and will be immediately asked for the PIN.

Providing you have free minutes remaining on your contract this is also free

Great addition, I never knew that.

This is an old trick, however from a lnd line (without inclusive time) you do pay for the call to the mobile number (the lowest I can find during the day is in the UK call checker).. or you can call from work.. which is cheaper OC
