Free voicemail from telecom operators
As mentioned earlier, the voice function can be either free or paid. It all depends on the purposes for which a person installs it with his telecom operator.
Different operators have different offers. Some do not offer such a service as having a mailbox at all, while others, on the contrary, promote it in every possible way, showing the importance of such messages.
The difference between the paid and free versions is that the paid version has a large number of features, advanced functionality, which means that the person receiving the call can take advantage of additional functions that are not available to the person with the other, paid version.
With the free version, a person most often gets the following features:
- Saving the message for a period of 1 day;
- The maximum message length is 60 seconds;
- Listened via telephone;
- No more than 15 messages per day are allowed per subscriber.
Note! Terms vary depending on the operator.
How to connect voicemail
Activating such a voice service is quite simple. Of course, different operators offer different methods, but most often these are:
- Dial a certain combination of numbers and call the number;
- Connection via cabinet.
If we talk about the first case, it is quite simple: you need to go to the official website and look at the number by which you can connect to this service. For example, with MTS, to activate a free service, you need to call the short command *111*2919#.
The number may vary.
Any users of the operator’s network can activate this option. If we talk about the second method, then just go to your personal account on the official website and in the “Services” tab find the “Voicemail” section, set the slider to the active state and wait for the connection to be confirmed.
How to disable the service
You can also disable the service through your personal account or using a certain combination. As a rule, the first method is more popular. With MTS, just call the short number *111*2919*2# to disable the communication service.
Once disconnected, users on that wire will not be able to record their short messages with various information or requests. Since this service is free, most often there is no particular point in disabling it.
Disabling through your personal account occurs in the same way as connecting. It is enough to switch the slider to the inactive state to completely remove the service and deactivate it. This way you can control the operation of connected services.
How to disable the service yourself
Now other people can call and leave messages, even if the person did not pick up the phone or his number was switched off. To check for new messages and listen to them, command 600 . It will work if the function is already installed on the SIM card. It is easy to remove or configure the service through special requests. Remember how to disable or connect Tele2 Voicemail:
- activation - *121#;
- deactivation - *121*1#.
The service stops working if call forwarding to another number is set, but it is compatible with Auto Answer.
In order not to forget how to listen to personal voice SMS messages of the Tele2 operator, it is enough to remember two digital combinations: 600 and +79774343600 . You can save them in your smartphone’s phone book so you don’t have to enter them manually each time. There, the subscriber can delete unnecessary messages, as well as save important letters in the archive.
Ways to listen to a voice message
As soon as you pick up the phone and see an SMS about a voice message, you will need to listen to it. There are two current ways to do this.
Using the phone.
This method is extremely simple. On a cell phone, the subscriber only needs to dial 600, provided that he is in his home region. After calling the PO box and receiving a response from the robot, you can use the following commands:
- 1 — open the previous record;
3 — next message;
- 2 — last voice message;
- 4 — listening to all unlistened messages in order of priority;
- 8 — open all messages;
- 6 — deleting an open record;
- 9—delete all entries.
Using an Internet connection.
Of course, listening to voice messages sent to a number via a cell phone is quite convenient. But unfortunately, it is not always possible to use the phone for these purposes. You can simply forget it at home. Also sometimes the battery runs low. In view of the above, Tele 2 clients want to listen to sent messages through their personal account. But, for now, the operator does not provide subscribers with such an opportunity, and at the moment there is only the opportunity to hear recordings by calling 600.
This information gives you an understanding of how to check voice messages on Tele2, as well as options for listening and deleting them.
Disabling the feature
If you need to disable the service, you can do this by sending the command *121*1# from your phone keypad or through your personal account yourself. When leaving your home region, you need to be prepared for additional costs - outgoing calls will be charged at the cost of roaming communications. In principle, before starting a trip, you can disable all forwarding, incl. to voicemail by dialing ##022#. After returning, it is easy to reconnect and configure the functionality.
Other terms of service
After listening, you can delete not only the current one, but also all call recordings. To do this, just press the “6” or “9” key, respectively.
Important: no more than 20 messages are stored on the server, each lasting up to 30 seconds. The storage period is 20 days, after this time the information is deleted automatically.
Call recording does not work when forwarding to another SIM card is active. To resume the ability to receive audio messages, just dial the combination ##002# from your phone and confirm the decision by pressing the call button.
How to connect a voice message to Beeline
If of the two options you choose the “Stay informed+” option, then you can connect it with the USSD command *110*1061#call, or by calling the Beeline service number 067401061.
Let's look at how the “Autoresponder” option is connected. The service provides more advanced functionality. To connect, use USSD commands:
- dial *110*011#, press “call”, so you will connect the GY in Russian;
- if you want an answering machine in English, use another command *110*012# call.
You can also connect a voice box using the service number 067409011. The essence of the service is as follows - when the subscriber is not available or busy, the caller can leave an audio recording, it is saved in the service, and you can listen to it. How you can listen to an incoming message depends on the type of service you have connected.
Mail setup
By default, when the service is enabled, the call goes to the mailbox if the subscriber's device is offline or turned off. For the function to work correctly, you need to check the “forwarding” item in your phone settings - it must be configured “unavailable” to the voicemail number entered in the international format (+7xxxxxxxxxxxx). By setting additional forwarding conditions, it is possible to redirect calls to an answering machine not only due to unavailability, but also in case of “no answer” or “busy”. It is also worth noting that if unconditional forwarding is enabled to any other number, mail will not work.
Price
The principle of tariffing the service in Tele2 is simple. The service is available and free on all operator tariffs. Accruals are made only for calls to the answering machine - to listen to messages or when setting up functionality. The cost of such a service is paid according to the tariff plan on which the subscriber is served. Particular attention should be paid to using the service when you are outside the connection region, since in this case calls will be charged at roaming rates.
