For your voicemail, go to your vm settings and change the number to *86,,xxxx# where 'xxxx' is your password.

That will dial voicemail, pause an appropriate amout of time, and then enter your password and the pound sign. Easy peasy automated vm login.

I get this issue every now and then and it seems like if I wait half an hour, the password goes through fine. Not sure if the root issue is a network thing or the DTMF tone settings on the phone. I'll try the automated method AJ suggests to see if it circumvents the problem in the future.

thanks for the responses!!!,,, and no hurricane630 you are not an ass for questioning if i have entered the correct number, valid question. this happens when the speakerphone is off, as far as programing the voicemail number, the issue is inputting v/m password as well as credit card numbers,on one try i noticed that when i push the number 1 it entered a 1 three times same with other numbers i push a number once { quickly } and it will act as though i pushed it three times,,,hope this helps with understanding the problem....

Thanks AJ McKay
This worked for me. Unfortunately anytime I call a number that requires me to use the keypad, I'm stuck :mad:
