(I am not sure but these numbers may also be called “ back door numbers ”.)

Originally posted by GoVols Well since we dont have one listed yet, and if you need it for your mobile phone to call the voice mail number and you have free long distance on it (who doesn't now days), then pick one of the closer voicemail numbers to you and see if it works from your phone...if not then try another. One of 'em should work for ya i would imagine. If not let us know, in the meantime maybe we can find a local # you could use from a landline AND on your mobile phone. |

Can you believe I called CS the other day and asked for the # and the lady wouldn't give it to me. I told her how I'd been calling my own # to get to VM and she said to just keep it like that. I asked again for the # just to have it "just in case" and she still wouldn't give it to me. Hmmmm. It's great to have reliable guys like you to turn to here on HoFo. |

Originally posted by bobolito Beware! It doesn't work that way. If your number is from Chicago, you MUST dial the Voicemail number for Chicago no matter where you are. Each region has its own Voicemail number. So you still have to dial long distance to your home Voicemail system if you are away. Entering an out-of-market mailbox number into the incorrect Voicemail center will result in an error message. |

Originally posted by toolhead The number listed for Boston doesn't work for me: 401-580-0680 I'm in Worcester, which is officially the Boston market. Anyways, why wouldn't you call your own number to check your voicemail from a landline?? What's so special about calling the VM backdoor number for your own vm? The only benefit i see, is if you want to leave someone a message without calling them... |
|
Originally posted by GoVols OK lets say I have a Alabama cell phone number. If I am in Houston, TX and am at a friends house, I don't want to use their landline to call my "long-distance" cell phone number to check voicemail or redo my message or something like that because it would be long distance on my friends landline. SO if there was a HOuston, TX local voicemail number that I could call and put in my phone number to check my voice mail it would be helpful. Just one reason to have these numbers, but there's more. |

Houston TX backdoor 713-822-1599, seems to only work for mailboxes starting with 713-822. |

Originally posted by blkballoon925 Thanks for those other pilot numbers. My Cleveland pilot number is 216-280-6005, but it won't let me leave messages for other subscribers when I call it from a Cingular phone. The 440 number you gave goes to the same VM system as my 216 number, though. |
|
Originally posted by elnino Yeah, the only way I've found to do that is to dial from a non-Cingular phone and you can get to the voicemail box that way. From a Cingular phone you can only get to the back-end login to VM. I havn't tried it, but I think if you call another Cingular phone and get dumped to voicemail, you can exit out and type in another mailbox number and leave a message there instead. |
|
Originally posted by promiseringer I would say to try the other number as well...I have a 330 based phone number, but i've used all 3 VM numbers in the past to access mine...if nothing else, give it a shot. |

Anyhow....the voicemail numbers here in the Chicago market take from daytime minutes, if said call is placed during that time period. We can call the Racine, WI VM pilot number and it appears as M2M. Racine, WI # 262-498-9993 |

So, what makes me attached to the Schaumburg number....it recognizes me and goes right to my messages...the other ones think I'm an alien |

| The phone number "(708) 828-0217" is a Hinsdale, IL based phone number and the registered carrier is Southwestern Bell Mobile Systems, Llc - Il. However, due to number portability, some numbers have been transferred to a new service provider other than the registered carrier. |

Fone Finder query forum This is very simple. Use this system to find the city, state, and telephone company for a telephone NPA-NXX.

Reverse Phone Directory Sometimes fonefinder.net can give you too little information, especially if one carrier bought out another. This website can be used to double-check the results. In addition, if you enter a landline, it will tell you the name and address of the person to whom it belongs. TelecoData.us Telecommunications Database This is the grandaddy of them all. This tells you everything, if you know how to use it. You can also use their automated system by phone! 248-724-DATA (248-724-3282) only requires the first 6 digits of the telephone number (NPA-NXX). |

The Racine Number is 262-498-9993. This number gets charged as M2M on your bill....plus it's one of the few we can use in this market You have to go into Messages > Voicemail > Setup.....to change the number. |
