Speed Dial & Voicemail Shortcut - Motorola Q Forum

chanman · 04-16-2007, 02:16 AM

Hi I recently got my Q not too long ago and still learning the little quirks of the wonderful device here and there. One thing I have noticed is that the speed dials that i have shortcutted to programs doesn't work sometimes but then 10-20 minutes later they work. whats up with that? At first I thought maybe its because i need to close running programs because the OS is too congested and running slow but after killing the running programs, i realized that was not the case. Another question I have is how do i set my voicemail to auto log in so that I don't have to type in my password. I've seen the formula in some other forum but i cannot find it now. Any help is welcome, thanks in advance!

mine does it once in a blue moon, maybe twice in the week and a half i have been using it. No real answer for you, its just one of those little things you get used too.

If Verizon, go to Setting's, Call Options, Voice Mail Number. then after the *86 enter two lower case p's then your pin. i.e. *86pp1234
This is what i use and after a sec when it connects to your mail box it will ender your password.

Go to Start, then Settings, Then Call Options...under Voice Mail Number, enter *86pPASSWORD#......the "p" is for a pause, and you may need another one if just one does not work...just will take a couple of seconds longer.

Hello - I have about 10 numbers set up on speed dial. All of a sudden, this morn, none of them work. They still have the speed dial number assigned to them, but when I press and hold down the number, nothing happens. Anyone know how to fix that?

restart your phone, power down, power on

Works now - guess I should have known that - thank you for the prompt reply!

You can also insert a 'Wait' in the same way you insert a pause. For example *86w1234. A wait is more or less a prompt. As soon as you connect to voice mail, you simply hit send again. I use this because I travel a lot and get weird connection times after dialing. I would have to put 3 or possibly 4 pauses in for it to work. Wait solves all the timing issues and you don't have to key in your password every time.

I keep trying and get an incorrect number error message

Yea, I tried it all, reboot phone, changed settings, NOTHING! Still won't use the #1 key to access my voice mail. I ended up having to create another speed dial shortcut to use my voice mail. Sucks! Since you can't see the #1 key in the speed dial setting menu is there any register hacks to get to this setting?
