How to access answerphone messages?

I missed 2 calls today and usually just press to notification dot and am given the options to listen to the message or delete it etc.

I pressed clear all by accident, is there a way to access my answerphone to check for messages?

It is a Moto G62 5G.

I Googled it and was told to, "open the Phone app, tapping the three-dot menu icon in the top-right corner, selecting Settings, then Voicemail, and finally managing your notifications and access options. Alternatively, you can dial *86 or your 10-digit mobile number directly from the keypad, enter your voicemail password (often the last four digits of your number), and press # to access your messages.

It is set to show notifications.
*86 does not work.
Dialing my number gives me "Line busy".

Any help appreciated.

    I though that voicemail options were a function of your mobile SIM provider rather than relating directly to the phone itself. Who is your mobile provider ?

    It's a combination... with o2 on my iPhone I have visual messages, listen to them by tapping, delete on the phone etc and the read status/delete goes back to O2. On my second SIM that network doesnt support visual voicemails so all you can do on the phone is click the button and it just calls the number for voicemail 

    Dont know if those are the only two options or if others have come up with midway points or something totally different. Clearly on an old phone with O2 it was call 901 from your own phone or a long number if calling from another phone.

    Dial 222 to listen to your voicemail. You should also be able to hold down the 1 key on the keypad.

    Thank-you very much, that worked. I will make a note of that.
