"To Change Voicemail Password
On your mobile phone, press and hold the "1" key. Press the number "4" to access the personal Options menu. Press the number "2" to access the Administrative Options menu. Press the number "1" to access the Password Options menu. Press the number "1" to change your password. Enter your new password (4 digits) and press the "#" key which is under the number 9."
I want to change my existing 4-digit pin/password to a different 4-digit pin/password.
When I follow the above instructions, "she" says, "Passwords must contain at least 7 digits..."
"It's Always Something" with TF!

So even though I input my phone number (on ATT) TF instructions that say "4 digits" is incorrect?
I have had a 4 digit password "forever", so I guess ATT changed their side?

If it's changed it was the carrier, AT&T in your case.
TF likely hasn't updated the instructions in a long time.

The instructions you quoted sound like the ones for Verizon, but looking at the AT&T menu it is the same sequence for password change. I don't see anything about the amount of digits needed in an AT&T password. You might check with an AT&T store. Doubt TF is going to be much help.

No need to reply... I'll just keep the one I have.After you receive the text message with your temporary voicemail password, you can
change it to a secure 4 to 15-digit password using one of the following methods depending
on your device type...

That's kinda what I was seeing, that you had to have an AT&T account to do some things. Verizon is the same way. Extra goodies for their contract customers.

But, I am not a "contract customer", just a TF user since the early 2000's.

I'm still using a 4-digit password for my voicemail on TF/AT&T. It's possible that they now require a longer password, but "grandfather" the old ones.

So am I, but TF/Verizon. My voicemail has always been there on any new phone I activate using the same 4 digit password.

I doubt regular AT&T customer service would be useful without an account, but one of the stores may be for verification of password rules. Who is going to remember a 7 digit password?

Do you remember your SS#, your phone number, and other phone numbers? They're 9 to 10 digits long.

Memorization ability varies between people, and is selective. It takes a lot of repetition for me to remember numbers and often names. SS, main phone number, home address, and bank PIN are about the only things remembered. I rely on lists and notes always available.

Remember when we all had more than a dozen 7 digit phone numbers memorized?
Home, grandparents, friends, time&temp, movie theater, emergency numbers, etc.
I haven't called it in 25 years but remember my home number as a child.
