How to Set Up an AT&T Voice Mail Box

Voicemail can be accessed at any time by holding the "1" key.

All AT&T phone numbers include a free voicemail box that allows callers to leave a voice message should you not answer their call. You can access your voicemail box from any phone, provided you know the four-digit pin number. Before your voicemail will record messages, you must set it up. When you setup the voicemail box, you will choose specific options such as a secret pin number and the style of greeting.
