How to Access AT&T Voicemail From a Landline

"You have a new voicemail message."

Sometimes you misplace your AT&T cell phone or it malfunctions, and you find yourself unable to check your voicemail messages. Fortunately, if you have access to a landline telephone, you can still check voicemail messages on your AT&T wireless phone.

Instructions

1. Pick up the landline telephone and place a call to your 10-digit AT&T cell phone number.

2. Allow the cell phone to ring until the answering machine picks up. If the cell phone is turned off or dead, the answering machine will automatically pick up.

3. Press the * (star) key on the landline telephone once the answering machine picks up; this will interrupt your voicemail box greeting. The automated system will prompt you to enter your voicemail password.

4. Enter the digits to your voicemail password. You now have access to your AT&T wireless voicemail box, where you can listen to messages and perform other voicemail box functions.

Tips & Warnings

• The default password to an AT&T wireless voicemail box is your seven-digit cell phone number (without the area code).
