I hope this is the right newsgroup for help?

| My wife just added me to the family Verizon package and am not able to get
my voice mail setup no matter what I do. I just keep getting the mechanical
voice that this is the voice mail and leave a message.
Any leads as to how I can solve this. I have three instruction manuals and
not one comes close to answering my problem. And by the way... what is 1X
mode?

| Short of it: Call Customer Service, using *611, and they will help you. But
if you are a do-it-yourself, and the line is new, this migh help:
1) I will assume you already know to dial *86 or your own phone number to
get to your messaging service
2) When you hear the message, enter # (which says you are the account owner)
3) Your default mail code password as a new user should be your 10 digit
number
4) The rest you will be prompted for.
Hope that helps.

| Don't know if you realize this, but you have to INTERRUPT the announcement
with the " # " key for it to work.
At least, that's how I had to do it.
And, " 1X " is just a more-advanced " D " (or Digital) mode....all the new
Verizon phones have it. Treat it the same as the old " D " indicator. There
may be places you travel to where the " 1X " may not appear. If/when that
occurs, full digital functionality (sending pix, data, etc) may not be
available. It usually happens when you're in a non-Verizon (some extended
network areas) area or roaming.
HTH,
Dean

| Thank you Dr. News and Dean... I got it to work. How interesting that this
is not the way the instruction manuals, all three of them, tell you how it's
done!
Took a while to delete the many trial messages from yesterday!!!
