Call Voicemail Directly

[Datacide]

Unsure if this is the right place to ask this but how can you call someone's voicemail directly? I'm in Canehda so I was wondering if there's like a *-code for it.

thanx

That would depend on what type of phone system they have, and how it's setup...

[Datacide]

It's Bell Canada. I'm sure it's the same setup as the States.

Would they be using Bell's voicemail? If it's a business I doubt it. (Bell being a phone carrier, not phone system)

Oh I see what you were asking. No I don't know what voicemail the person would be using but I would asume the majority will be using Bell's voicemail.

What I want is to just leave a message without having the phone ring.

Sounds interesting... I Like the idea
Wish the UK had that thing working, could be quite fun

Orange had it a few years ago - a couple of my friends both had Orange mobiles and free voicemail... they could dial in to their own, listen to a message, and leave a message for the other.

I don't know if it's still supported.

Voicemail can accept 8 calls at once. Just call from one line, and while it's ringing, call from the line that you want to go to vm, then hang up the first line. The second line goes straight to vm. Only while the first line is ringing. You should only have to let it ring once, though.

Yeah you can send voicemail from within your own voicemail system.

Hmmm, good idea. Oh wait that means I need two lines and two modems :S Still a good idea though.

Going by Bells FAQ there isn't a direct way to get to the voicemail. The one thing that might help you a bit is that # skips the greeting message (which'll cut your call time down).
