Setting Up Your Voice Mail Number; Using Call Forwarding - Blackberry dummies 2 Manual

Setting up your voice mail number

This section shows you how to set up your voice mail access number.
Unfortunately, the instructions for setting up your voice mailbox vary,
depending on your service provider. But usually, you can access the voice
mail by pressing the menu key in the Phone application and touch-pressing
the Call Voice Mail option.
Most service providers are more than happy to walk you through the steps to
get your mailbox set up in a jiffy.
To set up your voice mail access number:
1. Press the green send key.
The Phone application opens.
2. Press the menu key and touch-press the options item.
A list of phone options appears.
3. Touch-press Voice Mail.
This opens the Voice Mail Configuration screen.
4. In the Access the Number field, type your voice mail access number.
If this field is empty and you don't know this number, contact your ser-
vice provider and ask for your voice mail access number. Typically, it's
your mobile number.
5. Touch-press the menu key and then touch-press Save.

Using call forwarding

The BlackBerry has two types of call forwarding:
✓ Forward All Calls: Any calls to your BlackBerry are forwarded to the
number you designate. Another name for this feature is unconditional
forwarding.
✓ Forward Unanswered Calls: Calls that meet different types of conditions
are forwarded to different numbers as follows:
• If Busy: You don't have call waiting turned on, and you're on the
phone.
• If No Answer: You don't hear your phone ring or can't pick up your
phone. (Perhaps you're in a meeting.)
• If Unreachable: You're out of network coverage and can't get a
signal.
