Configuring your Verizon voicemail can be completed on any phone, regardless of whether it is your own. Simply follow these instructions:
- From your phone, dial *86. Dial your 10-digit phone number if you're using someone else's device.
- Press the # key to stop the default greeting when it starts.
- To select your preferred voicemail language, simply follow the prompts and press the # key to confirm.
- If this is your first time setting up Verizon voicemail, enter a password with 4 to 7 digits or make one. Remember that your password cannot contain consecutive or repetitious digits.
- In order to verify your password, press the # key.
- Make a note of your signature (your name) and your unique greeting, then double-check them by pressing the # key.
Access the Voicemail tab in the Phone app to configure Verizon voicemail on an iPhone. You may come across a "Set Up Now" button or a "Greeting" button, depending on your voicemail usage patterns. While "Greeting" will specifically cover the last step of recording your greeting, "Set Up Now" will guide you through the majority of the aforementioned steps.
