I have a phone that I never use but want to set up voice mail on it.  Can I do this from a landline?

I believe you need to set it up from the cellphone first.  Any other time you can do the following.

You can call your phone number from a landline and when you hear your greeting, press the # symbol to interrupt the greeting. Then follow the prompts.

Thank you.  I was hoping that was not the case but oh well!

Well, you only have to do it one time.  Do you just use this phone for a voicemail box?  I guess I'm asking, Why pay for service on a phone you don't use?

I have a bunch of phones on my account and this is just an extra one that no one has used.  It has a contract but only adds $10 per month to the bill.
