Voicemail password shortcut

How can I avoid the need to enter my password every time I call my voicemail?

Switch to Google Voice VVM.  You will have visual voice mail including transcribing VM to text & email and it is free.

Here's a good way.  From the home screen go to Settings>Call Settings and click on the second item down Voicemail.  Voice mail number will come up so click on it.  Next a dialer screen should come up.  You should enter *86, (yes that's a comma) and your password.  For example, it could look like this  *86,76543

Sometimes two commas are required and in my example the 76543 would have been the password

One other point, to get the comma (which is really a pause) or commas that follow the *86 go to a new dialer screen by pressing the key that shows the characters ?#+    NOTE:  each time you press the pause key it will insert a comma.

To get back to the original dialer screen press the key that now says 123 and enter your voicemail password.  That's it.

From here just go back to the home screen and try it.  Kudos to you for asking!  It sure makes it easy to check your voicemail.

Thanks. That really helps.

This works just fine on my phone; however, when I try to utilize it while my phone is connected to my car through bluetooth, it does not work. Any ideas?
