[Q] Accessing Voicemail on Atrix Issues

[meztizo_kid]

Hello All,

I used to have an iPhone 3G, where my voicemail was easily available via the dialer. I have not checked my voicemail since I've bought my Atrix 4G (which has been over a month). I'm not sure if rooting, and theming may have screwed up my settings or not, but I attempt to access my VM and it asks me for a mailbox #. WTF?!? I never EVER recall setting up one, as far as I know it was just there and tied to my phone. I was able to access my VM by calling my phone number from my cell, but now I attempt to do that and I get a busy signal.

A tad frustrated, so sorry for the crazy rant above. Has anyone else experienced the same/similar situation? And if so, is there a way to fix it? I don't want to result in calling Customer Service/Tech Support for ATT until I've attempted to troubleshoot things here, since they will probably ask me "have you done anything to your phone" and I'll have to be like, "Yes, I attempted and succeeded in making it better from your and Moto's BS filled phone."

Thanks all for your time!

Press and hold the #1 on the keypad for vm.
If it asks for a mailbox number, you will have to call AT&T.
This is typical for users going from visual voicemail to standard voicemail.
Some AT&T reps forget to reconfigure your vm.

I thought anybody with a Google phone would know to use Google Voice.

When you cone from iPhone they cancel your VM. You have to get them to set it up again, then you can use it.

When you come from iPhone they (AT&T) cancel your VM. You have to get them to set it up again, then you can use it. Actually it's whenever you change smartphone plans.

They don't forget to reconfigure it, they actually cancel it. They just forget to add it back for your plan.

This is what I use, but it doesn't hurt to have the carrier's VM to fallback on.
