*98 for voicemail

I searched and searched, but couldn't find a thread for this ... We're used at being able to simply dial *98 and get our voicemail, and it's rather annoying not being able to do that with vonage. Instead we have to dial 1-700-something. Yes, we could program it in the speed-dial, but it takes about as long to find a number in the speed-dial as it does typing *98. And ours, and most, phones don't have a special programmable button for voicemail.

Try dialing *123, that's what the web site says to do.

Same procedure for Vonage in Canada;

Yep, *123 takes you right to voicemails.

Heh, so it does ... thanks... Hadn't noticed that at all. The instructions that we got simply said "see website for your local access number", didn't mention anything about *123 ... but it works, so thanks people Smile
