Just got my 9 year old her first phone.

I just bought my 9 year old a basic Samsung phone.  I am embarassingly asking how to set up the voice mail.

Hold down the one on the keypad and follow the instructions

Or just dial one or the number of the phone from that phone

Here's a link to Verizon's instructions:  http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/landingpages/voicemail.jsp

Or, as soupcannon said, press and hold 1 (Speed dial 1, normally set to voicemail by default).  It will actually call *86, which is a shortcut to your voice mailbox from your phone.  If, for some reason, you are out of your "home area", roaming, or in an "extended service" area, *86 will not work.  I have been in the habit of changing the # called by Speed dial 1 to my full 10 digit cell #.  That way it will connect to my voicemail automatically no matter where I am calling from.

Hope this helps,

Suzy
