Howto: Dial your Voicemail for FREE!
This post was published 4 years 5 months 11 days ago which may make its actuality or expire date not be valid anymore. This site is not responsible for any misunderstanding.We all [should] know that Sprint is one of the few carriers that charges its customers airtime minutes to check their own voicemail. WHAT GIVES WITH THAT!!!!! Well, there is a workaround.
This only works if you have PCS to PCS calling for free. The good thing is, Sprint gives this option away as a freebie if you simply call *2 and ask. So if you don’t have free PCS to PCS, go do that first!
Now then. You’re going to create a Speed Dial entry. Name it Free Vmail.
The number that you’ll be entering is 11
As in, 113303549999 (I’m not sure if that even exists…just using it as an example). If you know a friend/relative/wife/etc that is on Sprint, simply use their number. Don’t use your own; won’t work. The 11 takes you into their voicemail automatically, I guess.
Next, go into the Speed Dial’s Dial Extra Digits area.
Insert this:
,***
Example: ,***3303549998#1231
The comma acts as a pause, then three asteriks, your number, a pound sign, your passcode.
Bingo. That’s it. Dial Free Vmail whenever you’re not in your Nights/Weekends minutes and you can check your voicemail for free. This can be verified on your next invoice because whatever number you end up using will have the little PCS to PCS logo next to it.
I’ll try this. Was just wondering today how to get around SprintPCS’ charge for this.
Ok, it doesn’t work on my phone. :(
this works a lot on t-mobil and verisan:
t-mobil: dile:
541-905-5976
Then press *
then * again
then * again
enter your phone number, then enter your password
on verisan: dile:
541-990-5242
Press star
Then press pound.
Enter your cell number, then press pound.
Then your pass code, and bam, your in.
Hope this helps people.
Sprint PCS sucks ASS…BIG TIME!!!!!!!!!
After months and months of overage charges, I finally took a look at my bill to see what I’ve been spending a shitload of money on…THEY’VE BEEN TAKING OUT AIRTIME for ALL MY CALLS TO MY VOICEMAIL!!!!
SAY WHAAAAAAAAAAT?!!!
I have FREE Mobile to Mobile calling!!!! Why the fuck am I getting billed for calling my own SPRINT number???????!
So, I finally take the time to call Sprint…….after hundreds of dollars in overage charges this year alone. I get a rep, and he tells me that I do have FREE mobile to mobile…but it doesn’t work towards calling my own number or voicemail. He says that it is FREE mobile to mobile…so the offer is only valid towards calling other mobile numbers!!!
HOW DOES THAT MAKE ANY SENSE?????????????!!!!!!!
So, I ask to speak with a supervisor…oh, what a fucking moron his supervisor is!!! He just keeps repeating and talking over me, “Sprint mobile to mobile is only for calling other mobile numbers. It doesn’t count towards calling voicemail.”
GRRRRRRR!!! I’ve been a customer for 6 years and have been off contract for the past 4 years!!! You freaking ingrate!!!!!
That’s it. Tomorrow, I am switching service providers. Up your ass Sprint!! I fucking hate you!!! If there are any attorney’s out there….this is totally a case of false advertising!!! Free Sprint to Sprint…should include any Sprint number on the network and should not exclude any Sprint PCS number. Do I hear class action lawsuit? Mutha Fukkers!!!! GRRRRR!!!! >:(
