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.

Some people like the access number method because they can check it without making their phone ring (example: if someone else is home that may answer before VM picks up) and some like the simplicity of just calling their own number without having to remember/save an access number.
