Because your service provider manages Voicemail, you can follow a more general process that includes making phone calls and connecting to automated systems instead of launching the app. Here's what you need to do:

  1. Open the Phone app and pull up the keyboard if it doesn't launch automatically.
  2. Press and hold 1 . This will dial your Voicemail box. If you haven't set up Voicemail yet, the system will guide you through the process, including setting up a new password. If you've previously set up your Voicemail, continue to the next step.
  3. Enter your password, then press # .
  4. Press 5 to access the security password. If this is not the correct number for your service provider, listen carefully to the automated system's instructions.
  5. Press key 1 to enter a new password or hear the exact number of the network operator.
  6. Enter your new password, then press # . Once the password is read back to you, press and hold # to confirm.
