Does voicemail use minutes? I have lost a lot of minutes from accessing voicemail...

To receive your 3 x minutes purchased do you need to purchase online and is there a code you need? I am going to purchase online and hope the minutes are tripled and extends the days accordingly.

If you set up your pin code first and call your cell number from another phone it does not cost to listen to your voice mail. Tracfone has always worked that way.

I have a tracfone, a super old cheapie, I can call myself from another phone, let the phone go to voice mail (don't answer the tracfone), during the voice mail message (HI, this is so and so, please leave a message) hit the * key and the system will prompt for a password or passcode. Passcode can be set up by calling the voicemail # and following the prompts. Voice mail can called from a landline to save minutes....

You don't call your own Cell phone number from another phone to check messages. From your Tracfone hold down 1 to check messages (cancel the call). Check Recent Calls, Dialed, View Details of 'Voicemail'. THIS is the number you use to check messages from a land line.When you call that number, press # and enter your tracfone number, then your access code. (for AT&T; hosted voicemail). I had another that didn't require the # but did have a * before the password and # after the password.

thanks for the info, but it acts as though I am just another caller, when I get to voice mail...when do you add the pin code to get access to voicemail??? I am a newbie to Tracfone, and really like this phone...but have always had a phone, where accessing voicemail was free and easy.TIA

Same question as Kevin. When and how do you enter your VM code to retrieve your messages using another phone? When you call your own cell phone number you can leave a message but that is the extent of it. My cell phone was on when I tried. Should it be off??

as long as you own the service....the minutes roll over. I don't use my minutes during the time frame, they just roll over

I believe so. It has an option called Visual Voicemail where you see who called, the date, time etc. I think once you have listened to the voicemail you will have the option to lock it.

does this mean you can only use voice when text messaging? I should have my phone by august 3rd. Thanks!

Thanks to you all for your help. I did set up voicemail but it is not working. But I'll try the trick from Jen--I'm desperate for help! The link to the manual is very kind, too. I still can't set use my NY Times subscription (the Droid app just fails and fails). Can't sign in to my Google stuff--the qwerty board refuses to appear when I'm asked for my password. Big sigh. At least I can phone out. Again, thanks to the community!

Your minutes do carry over, so however many you have, is how many you have. What you need to pay attention to are the number of days. If you run out of days, your phone won't work, no matter how many minutes you have. If you run out of days, and either put more days or minutes on your phone, you will still have the minutes from before.

Getting to voicemail is easy by holding down the 1 key for a couple of seconds, however once you finally get to where you can record your own greeting, it gives you two seconds to talk(bummer).

I really don't know. In my house of the 26 years, I did respond to voice mails, if they happened to go to the phone rather than my AT&T; coverage. However, I am having a problem with my phone system in my rental space and I have to call AT&T; regarding retrieving the messages. My service is really messed up and AT&T; has tried to fix it, but I think it needs jands on tech support instead of turning off my internet also for periods of time. Sorry, that I am no help. I try not to buy an answering machine, but there was no choice with this phone.

Sorry I can't answer that question since all my devices are Android. I know that by holding the Play/Pause button open the voice dialer and by double pressing the power button dialed the last contact. Sorry that I couldn't answer your question but I hope this helped a bit.

You will need to get this information from your cell carrier. I use AT&T; and voicemail pretty much just happens once you've done the initial setup.

It will show a missed call message. I am not sure about the voicemail--I don't remember and I have since given the phone away....for what it's worth I believe the answer is yes. This phone is super basic but it worked well for me and I was happy with it when I used it on a recent trip to Europe.

I found that answer on the Internet from others who purchased the phone. I never have needed to set up the voicemail. It's a good little phone with horrid instructions on how to use.

Yes, there is a "New Voice Mail" indicator on the display. Full details for storing your voice mail access number can be found in the below link. http://service.us.panasonic.com/opermanpdf/KXTGE260-MUL.pdf#page=63

It's not a "feature" of the phone.If you use a voicemail feature supplied to you by your phone company, it sends a packet every 30 min as the reviewer stated. It wouldn't be annoying if it wasn't for the fact that it actually shows up in the caller ID list and thus filling your CID list with "Voice Mail" entries. On one hand it's good because it forces you to check your messages to prevent becoming annoyed by the chiming.

My voicemail on my cell picks up any messages. The answering machine on,y works on calls via landline. I like this phone because I'm not a carry my cell phone around with me person. When I'm home it's on the charger. This machine allows me to answer my cell phone with the cordless handset.

Not sure exactly, I just press and hold the 1 button down to check my voicemail. Also another reason I HATE this phone, it does not let me know when I get a voivcemail, I just have to "check" my msg'd to find out

No, I use the same phone line and with my answering machine. Hope this helps.
