I just got a new rumor 2 from mohave wireless and the chick at the counter said she set up the voice mail for me. Well i doesn't work. When I dial it to set it up I hear "you have reached....and then a series of beeps" It hangs up right after. Any idea how to correct it or am I just doing someting wrong...

Good Morning, Here are Step by Step Instructions on Setting Up Your Voicemail. Hope This Helps..

You must set up your mailbox the first time you use your U.S. Cellular Voice Mail. Please ensure you are using your wireless device for the initial set up.

1. Access your mailbox by dialing *86 or your 10-digit wireless phone number + SEND
2. Follow these prompts to set up your mailbox:
   1. Choose English or Spanish as your language preference
   2. Set up your 4-10 digit password
   3. Record your voice signature
   4. Record or select your greeting
3. Start using your Mailbox Password

To protect your privacy, the new Voice Mail system doesn't allow "easy-to-guess" passwords, including repeating digits (3333), consecutive digits (1234 or 4321) or ascending or descending even/odd numbers (2468 or 7531). Your choice of a unique password will be an important step in protecting your Voice Mail service.

You must add mail number to speed dial...this is userguide:

hold the #1 down until it dials your voice mail for you, then listen to messages. push 7 to erase one & push 9 to save one after you listen to them. Phone does not come with voice mail set up already, so if this is a new phone for you, you will have to dial 1 & hold button down until it rings & it will walk you through setting it up

There are three elements to voice mail; having a Panasonic brand voice mail system, recording the greetings, and setting call forward conditions. Which ones have you done?

The default access to voice mail is extension 500 on the intercom, but we used to use 165. When you dial it, the lady says "welcome to the Panasonic voice processing system". If she doesn't or you're asked for a password, or you have not done the tutorial, then you need to do that and it guides you to the setup of the greetings, name, and password change. After that, you dial *710x 500 (or your VM access) # on the inercom to set call forward to voice mail, with 4 being no answer (my preference since it gives me the option of answering the 2nd call or letting it fall to voice mail), or 5 for Busy/No Answer.

The message manager (mailbox 998) and the system owner (mailbox 999) has the ability to access and change how the voice mail system performs. The owner can change your name for the directory or reset your password and/or
setup or delete your mailbox.

If you mean setting up voice mail out-going message, then see below (for AT&T cell service). The phone will dial the voice mail center for you after you set it. Then it will check the number of messages on the system. Press Menu > Messaging > Settings. Then select Voice Mail and enter the phone number for the call center. Then press the AT&T button to exit.

To listen to the messages, press and hold 1 or press Menu > Messaging > Voice Mail. Then the number set above will be dialed.

To set up the voice mail box, start as you would for listening to the messages above. Note: you must use your wireless phone and be inside the AT&T coverage area.

To set up your voicemail box:

1. Follow the prompts to create and enter a 4- to 15-digit voicemail password.
2. Record your name and personal greeting, then press the # key
3. After completing the setup process, press * to return to the Main menu.

See http://www.wireless.att.com/answer-center/main.jsp?t=solutionTab&ft=browseTab&ps=solutionPanels&locale=en_US&_dyncharset=UTF-8&solutionId=52653&isSrch=Yes for more information.

For another provider, see their documentation.

To create a memo for yourself, press Menu > Tools > Voice Memo (or if using the advanced menu, Menu > My Stuff > Tools > Voice Memo). Then press Options > New (or Create New, if you have created one before). Press Re-rec to record and pause to momentarily stop recording. Press the AT&T button to stop recording. Press Play to play back a memo and the AT&T button to stop play-back.

I hope this helps.

I had the same problem and found that the speed dial feature in "settings" is not turned on by default even though voice mail number is pre-programed into the speed speed list. Go to "Settings & Tools/Call Settings/One Touch Dial" and turn the option on.

Press and hold the "Mute" or "Clear" button until the handset beeps to clear the New Voice Mail allert.

You can usually access the system voice mail setup from any extension.

Press Speaker

Dial ext 200.

When asked for security code, dial *,2,# (dial it twice if there is no code).

When main greeting begins, dial 632.

Using the soft keys under the display, press MORE, then MGR, then CHBX or, follow voice prompts if non-display phone.

Follow voice prompts. Remember, 1=Yes, 2=No.

As bsmither said, how voice mail is accessed is very dependent on your phone company and how they've set things up. They would be the best place to ask about any problems you're having there.

As for programming the voice mail buttons on the 25204, I was confused by that one as well until I finally figured it out. Specializations aside, they're just speed dial buttons, and are programmed in exactly the same way as the ones along the right side of the phone. RCA could have documented that detail better than they did.

In my case, with Vonage, I just programmed the buttons with the numbers for the lines that they're associated with. When they dial and I'm connected to the voice mail system, I'm prompted for my VM password, which I then enter manually.
