Voicemail Password

[TreoDan]

Can not find means to modify the default KEY for accessing Voicemail to include the pause and password. Can setup 1-touch to do it; but the normal menu key --- how to progam it??
Could have sworn this thread was on the forum previously --- can't find any disucssion of it.
Thanks --- I know it has to be simple (:rolleyes: )

TreoDan, I'm a new user of the Treo and I just figured this out myself. Instructions start from the "Today Screen".

Menu >
Speed Dial Options >
Select Voicemail Speed Dial Number (Default is 1) >
Menu >
Edit >
Advanced tab >
Enter ,<pass># in the Extra Digits field >
Press OK >
Press OK.

This should automatically log you into your voicemail.

The extra digits option with speed dial is a really cool feature. My corporate VM is a total pain in the rear to get into normally, but the speed-dial plus extra digits button makes it a two button key press instead of like 10 digits. It took a little testing to get the timing right (had to add a lot of commas for pauses etc.) , but it works great!

Yeah - I can (have) program the "1" speeddial key to contain the pauses and passcode.
HOEVER, when I have a voice message and the Todaysreeen has the message pop-up box, the left KEY is labeled Voicemail.

However it only dials my mailbox number with no way to program extra keys. I can't find a way to preprogram THAT button.

But when you're actually in the call, doesn't the Left Key change from Voicemail to "Extra Digits"?

[TreoDan]

Hitting the LEFT key to access voicemail dials my #; but during that call the LEFT KEY reverts to toggle between "Hold"/"Off Hold" ... no extra digits.

Vaguely remember that LEFT key originally dialed the *68 default Verizon Vmail access (I could be mis-remembering). I think I (while trying to add the passcode) reprogrammed to the actual number --- same affect ... I reach the prompt for passcode.
But no idea haw to re-program that key (to add passcode or revert to *68)

Norm, it worked perfect! I just added one comma before my password and bingo. Thanks a bunch.
