11 then 10 digit phone # direct to voicemail

nicetie · 09-19-2005, 03:24 PM

Using 11 to dial directly into voicemail only works with Sprint.

Are there other codes for other cell providers? It would be handy
to call and leave a message without disturbing someone who
might be sleeping.

Is there a source for this info on the internet?

I've heard about this code before but never tried it out. I just did it and I get a recorded message saying "Number or code you dialed is incorrect". Is it my phone or am I just being dumb and didn't dial it right? lol
11-xxx-xxx-xxxx right?
It shows up as 1-1xx-xxx-xxxxx

It's my understanding that it works if you call a cell phone that is on the Sprint
system. Were you calling a Sprint phone? I tried it calling a phone that wasn't on
the Sprint system and it didn't work.

I think the number you are calling has to be an original Sprint #. If the Sprint phone you are calling was a number ported from another carrier or land line it doens't work ( at least it doesnt for me in the San Francisco area.

I was wondering what was up with that. I didn't see anyone else stating that it doesn't work everywhere. Thanks.

Most "cheats" do not work with a ported number, nor do they work in all areas. I know that if you dial your exchange (first 3 numbers = xxx) xxx-6245 (MAIL) that should take you directly to Sprint's Messaging Center, where you can enter the 10 digit number of an account, and it should take you right to their voicemail, or you can check your own.

I believe that Nextel works the same way, not sure about the others.

all i know is i used this w/ about 5 sprint #'s (orig sprint#'s not ported) in miami for 2 years, and the day I moved to nyc it just did not work at all. i posted a while back and other people confirmed it doesn't work in nyc and some other areas.,

It definately does not work in NYC. However, if you login to your own voicemail and press option 2 from the main menu "Record and send a message" you can record a message and send to someone without ringing their phone. (sprint customers only)
