    How can I listen to my wife's voicemails?
    Community Answer
    If you have Verizon, you can just call her 10-digit mobile number, press the # to bypass the greeting, enter your password, and then you should be able to listen to the VM's stored on her device. If you believe the voicemails are of a pressing legal nature, you should consult an attorney instead. A judge can issue a warrant to pull up the voicemails in question, even deleted ones.
