There are a few different ways to listen to voicemail from a different phone. The most common way is to call your voicemail from the other phone. You can do this by dialing your own phone number and then pressing the * key. This will typically take you to your voicemail inbox, where you can listen to your messages.

Another way to listen to voicemail from a different phone is to use a voicemail forwarding service. This is a service that allows you to forward your voicemail messages to another phone number. To set up voicemail forwarding, you’ll need to contact your carrier and ask them to activate the service. Once it’s activated, you can set up the forwarding number by following the instructions provided by your carrier.

Access Your Voicemail Remotely

If you’re away from your primary phone and need to access your voicemail, there are several ways to do so remotely:

Using a Remote Access Number

Follow the automated instructions to navigate your voicemail.
