How to Set an Automatic Password for AT&T Wireless Voicemail
Your voice mailbox messages are as private as your email and text messages and should be protected from unauthorized users. If your voicemail messages fall into the wrong hands, your personal information may be compromised. If you have AT&T Wireless for mobile service, your voice mailbox does not have a password by default, but AT&T encourages its customers to set one up as an added security measure.

Tips & Warnings
Commit your voicemail password to memory instead of writing it down. If you must write it down, keep it in a safe place that is not near your cell phone. If you ever forget your voicemail password, AT&T Wireless customer service can reset it for you over the phone or through the company's Internet site.
You may choose any four- to 15-digit number combination for your voicemail password. Avoid using easily guessed number combinations for your voicemail password, such as the last four digits of your phone number, the last four digits on your Social Security number or your birthday.
