All you folks but especially Rom Ruward and Terry Brewer,
This may be old info but I just discovered how to automatically dial, stop of the mesage recording, and automatically enter the mailbox passcode whenever I access my messages. For the record, we use Verizon and have Motorola phones (T-720/30 and V-276).
First, instead of dialing your phone number you use *86 to call your mailbox. Then you enter pause codes which are the letter p. Then the symbol # will stop your message playback, and following that you put your private mailbox passcode XXXX.
So, instead of using your phone number to access your messages you use the following string: *86ppp#pXXXX
*86 dials Verizon
ppp inserts 3 short pauses (you may need only 2 or possibly 4 pauses but three works for me)
# stops your message playback
p inserts one more pause
XXXX is your personal mailbox passcode
Furthermore, I named this call, AAA Jerry's Msgs. By naming it AAA Jerry's Msgs it is the first listing in my phone book so when I access my phone book it is ready to be dialed and all I have to do is press the dial button. The rest is automatic.
You can, with great difficulty, enter the letter p and # symbol using your cell phone but it is MUCH easier to use you phonebook manager. Read your phone book into your PC and use the keyboard to set up a new entry named AAA Jerry's Msgs (your name goes in place of mine) and enter the dial string *86ppp#pXXXX.
Also, don't forget to drag and drop this new phone number dialer to position one (first item in your phone book). Finally, read the phone book back into your phone.
It works great.
