Question

I forgot my PIN. How do I find it?

David Reynolds

Community Answer

Contact your financial institution or the service provider for guidance. They often offer online or phone-based methods to reset your PIN, typically requiring identity verification. Avoid attempting to guess your PIN repeatedly, as this may lead to account locking for security reasons.

Question

I set the voicemail number and pressed 1 on the keypad, but it said, "The number you're trying to call is currently busy. Please try again later." What should I do?

Ronald Yahne

Community Answer

On my smartphone, if I only tap the number 1, I get a similar message. However, when I hold down the number 1, it automatically dials my voicemail. It might take a second, so hold it long enough. This should take you to your voicemail.

Question

Can I have two mailboxes on my voicemail?

FerrisWELD

Community Answer

On Android, voicemail management is typically handled by your carrier, and having multiple mailboxes on a single voicemail account isn't a common feature. Check with your carrier if this is possible with your plan.

Why can't people leave a voicemail in my mailbox?

Community Answer

Your mailbox might be full, or you haven't set it up yet. Check if your voicemail is set up, and if it is, try emptying it.

Question

How can I set up voicemail if nothing happens or shows up?

David Reynolds

Community Answer

Try restarting your phone to resolve any temporary glitches. Ensure that your voicemail service is activated with your phone carrier, as it may need to be set up or reactivated. If issues persist, contact your carrier's customer support for specific guidance or to check for any network-related issues.
