How to set up answerphone msg

Cods — Thu, 04 May 2023 22:33:12 GMT

I have a cheap ten quid phone and reception for EE is crap. I often receive missed call alert. As I`m on PAYG, I don`t wish to spend anything, but instead want to leave a message people will hear that instructs them to text me instead. How do I set this up please? Thanks for your time.

@Cods You call your voicemail and set this up via the options given. Hold down the number 1 on your keypad until it calls your voicemail.

Thank you, worked a treat. Reply was that I didn`t have enough credit to make that call. Dialled 150 to find I had 30p left since my £5 top up on 13/07/22.

Wow, more than 30p just to access my answerphone to create a message for callers. Nutz, I`ll pass on that fleecing.

Yes, it costs 40p / min to call your VM. Of course, if you still had a pack allowance, as most do, it would be free.

Thanks, I`m 10p short then.

Forty pence, wow what a rip-off! I`m not `like most`....that`s stood me in good stead during the last few years. Only spent £4.70 in the last ten months, I wonder how much `most`, have spent on their mobile in that timeframe with their `pack allowance` option?

No other way to get an answerphone message set up? I generally only use it for people to contact me. Reception is so poor here behind the back of beyond, if I`m lucky will get a text off by walking 60ft to end of garden and hold hand aloft for three or more attempts.

Then you hardly use it. Most of us do!

If you have a voicemail PIN set, you can dial into your voicemail on 07953 222222 from any other phone.

You could also use WiFi-calling to dial voicemail if you have a compatible phone. No coverage doesn't mean no service.

Thanks. Don`t think I`ve ever had a voicemail pin.

All I have is a landline, desktop PC & this cheapo old mobile.

Got another problem, re bt emails, so got to nip off somewhere to get an answer to that issue too.

Already taken TT to the cleaners.....
