Every 2talk number comes with it’s own voice mailbox which you can access from your 2talk phone, from any other phone, via email or via the 2talk Live portal.
Accessing your voicemail box
- From a 2talk Phone - Simply dial *55 from you 2talk phone to access your personal mailbox (or dial 028890000)
- Voicemail Star Access - Dial your own 2talk number from any phone and wait for it to go to voicemail. When you start to hear the voicemail greeting press ‘*’ and you will be prompted for your voicemail PIN code (must already be setup) - you will then be able to access your mailbox messages as normal. You can also setup calling numbers as trusted callers to avoid having to enter a PIN number
- From another Phone via the portal - Dial our Voicemail portal number which is 028890000. We also have local access numbers in some areas (* see below). When prompted for your mailbox number enter your 2talk number and then ‘#’, followed by your PIN number and ‘#’. NOTE: Before you can access your mailbox remotely you need to setup a PIN number under Voicemail settings in the 2talk Live Web interface (https://live.2talk.co.nz)
- Via 2talk Live - You can check your new voicemails by simply logging into 2talk Live (https://live.2talk.co.nz) and clicking on the messages tab. (You cannot setup prompts etc. using the web interface however)
- Via email - You can login to 2talk Live and under voicemail settings setup an email address to forward all voicemail messages onto. For the technically minded users you can also connect to our IMAP server (imap.2talk.co.nz) and check your voicemail directly from your email client such as Outlook. Contact support@2talk.co.nz for more details on how to do this.
