anyone figure out how to check thier voice mail using hands free via bluetooth. i have a Nokia 6230 (cingular). i have programmed my voice mail # into car phonebook, but it makes me enter password after i dial.

can't seem to get password to enter. is there any way around this?

 

I dial my voicemail, and then maually press the code on the cell phone itself and it works

 

I just did this today, except on my office auto attendant. Voice dial the number. When your system asks for your password, say, "SEND 1-2-3-4". The voice will confirm your number just like when dialing verbally. Confirm and you're in!

I never tried this, but you might be able to say "SEND 1-2-3-4 Pound" and it might insert the # sign for you. Let me know if it works if you get a chance.

Of course, you can key in the codes on your cell phone, but that kind of defeats the purpose of having a hands free setup, eh?

 

I have three numbers programmed into the HFL and I do the following. I say the things in quotation marks after pressing the button.

1) "Call Voicemail." Car asks me to confirm. "Yes." (I've found that with the v710 if I just hold down the button to confirm this, calls don't connect.)

2) Office voicemail answers. "Send Voicemail Extension." (That is, my five-digit mailbox number, which is programmed with the pound sign.) When the car confirms, hold down HFL button as soon as the voice speaks.

3) Office voicemail asks for password. "Send Voicemail PIN." (Also has the pound sign included.) Skip the confirmation in the same way noted under step 2).

So as to edmiller9999's query, yes, you can say "pound" and it will recognize it.

Once I get into my mailbox, I've found that trying to use the HFL to send all the little codes to pull up messages often doesn't work very well, so if I'm not in DC I sometimes just pull out the phone to punch in the codes (in DC that is illegal if your car is moving). I do have a phonebook entry for "Voicemail Delete" (on our system, that's *D) but I don't use it very often, mainly because I forget I programmed it.

 

thanks... sounds like a good workaround.

i'll try it!

 

You can also enter a pause just by saying "pause" when programming the address book phone number. If you need more than one pause just say, "pause, pause" etc. The pauses show up as underscores on the MID. I have a 32 character "number" stored which has as much as four pauses in a row.

 

I've got my voicemail (including password) on a speed dial on my phone. I would like to just hit "1" on my keypad and have it connect to the HFL automatically. For some reason, the TL and RL don't work this way. I still have to manually transfer the call once its connected.

I test-drove the 06 Lexus GS and it picks up all calls that are initiated from the phone immediately.

Can this be fixed?

One caveat for v710 users is that you cannot enter pauses if you have the v710--or should I say, you can enter pauses, but it won't work. For some reason they cause the phone to lose the Bluetooth connection.

 

This is the fast easy way that I do it with my 6230 also.

 

Don't know if someone mentioned this, but you can say "PAUSE" and the system will enter in a 1 second pause. I just have the password entered into the voicemail number itself. ie: 310-888-0000xxxxx1x2x3x4x# where each "x" is a pause. For some reason, the voice recognition of numbers "during" a call stinks!

 

easier way, haven't tried this, but i read sumwhere that it works:

save a phonebook entry with the pin code and named it PIN, then do a "SEND PIN".

You can always change the name to anything u want.

 

Last year I had my voicemail set up like that to listen to home voicemail. Worked for a while .. then no longer did.

Tried setting it up again but won't work.
