Is anyone else having problems remotely accessing the VM system to retrieve messages? For years, I've dialed 832-838-7000. The last day or two, it prompts me to "enter my ID, followed by pound" (as always), but when I do it immediately says "goodbye" and disconnects.
Frank,
This should now be resolved. Please do let us know if otherwise, thanks!
Can't you also dial your own number and enter "0"?
Both are fine.Quote:

And the proper way to do this remotely appears to be...
1) Dial 832-838-7000 from your mobile phone
2) Type in your VOIP phone number
3) Type in your voice mail password
4) Press pound sign "#"
For some reason we have recently lost the ability to access our VM from our home phone by dialing our own number then pressing 0 after it answers. I was told to try pressing 123, which also didn't work. This after approx one year of working as it should. Works from other phones, just not from home. Even tied recycling the Grandstream. Nothing else has changed. This on top of the other issues we've had with dropped calls, etc. makes me think we won't have to worry about accessing VM much longer.

As frankd first reported, the system just keeps instructing me to enter my ID, over and over, regardless of whether I follow my ID with "#" or what the heck I do.
Update: OK, when calling 832-838-7000 from a non-VOIPo number or from my SIP phone it does work, per Mike_TV's exact steps above. But trying to auto-dial entire string including commas for pauses and ID (with or without password and "#") gets "Welcome to your voicemail, goodbye" every time. LOL. Softphone app's abiity to pass commas and additional digits was confirmed by calling my bank's IVR menu, so I guess VOIPo's system doesn't like it.
