It turns out that each carrier offers a €śbypass the instructions€ť
keystroke that takes you directly to the beep. (It bypasses both the
persons own recorded greeting and the 15-second carrier nonsense.)
To be as evil as possible, the carriers do not promote or tell you
about the existence of this keystroke. Furthermore, the key to press
is different with each company:
* for Verizon
1 for Sprint
# for AT&T
# for T-Mobile
Every time you dial a number, youd have to know which carrier that
person uses. Which is, of course, impossible.
Does anyone know a way to skip the "old voicemails" when I retrieve my
current voicemail? In other words, I get a voicemail, and want to hear
it, but first I have to listen to all my old (Saved) voicemails, first.
(Most annoying). I often save old voicemail because it contains a phone
number, directions, or other info that I will need at a later time,
because I did not have a pen and paper handy when I received it.
I dont know why these idiots that provide the voicemail, can not play
the NEW voicemail FIRST!!!!
What carrier? Verizon lets you listen to new first, then saved. Heck, even my home answering machine plays the new ones first, as does my work voicemail. I've never heard of it being done any other way.
