Cingular Voicemail Number Centers....

[hme83]

I have one voice mail call on my current bill (May billing period) and it shows that it was charged as nights/weekends rather than anytime minutes.

I am certain I've never received a text message or a separately mailed notification regarding this change. Since I don't receive paper bills, I wouldn't have received a billing insert.

Interesting, was it a NW timing on the VM call?

Yes, same here, I didn't receive any correspondence whatsoever.

last fall cingular noticed that some markets across the country had free vm access from the wireless phone... its supposed to be billable airtime as described in the terms of service ***regardless of the time of day or night*** so in fairness they informed all customers (prepaid and postpaid) of this change (actually a billing correction) and life goes on... I have answered this question on average 10-15 times a day since march..

I could recite the affected markets but its a moot point really the may bill cycle is now over and the correction is now system wide

Yes - it was during nights & weekends timeframe (11:30 Saturday p.m.). I was just meaning that my single VM experience on my May billing statement doesn't seem to be consistent with the change as it's been outlined.

Ahh Gotcha! thanks .

Well there are 2 VM entries on my May billing, they were both during the day. They show my number as the number called but designates as VM in the type of call, and airtime usage of 1 min. each. Btw, I don't call my number to access my VM.


PS: Now that I think about it, I haven't received any correspondence from Cingular, in any form for the last 3 months - maybe they lost my phone number?

What????? And it should be so easy for you to remember. (I don't call my own number either - but mine aren't all the same. )

Mine shows my number called, designates VM in the type, 1 minute but with the 5KNW rate code.

Does it really matter that its a year old? Its only a DAY old to me, because I just googled ATT voice mail centers last night and this is what it came up with. I used 2 of the numbers from the list, thanks, and they worked and now if you want you can add another one to PA Philadelphia which is not on your list, I had to call me buddy and ask him for it. Its 215-200-9028. Thats not a mistype 200 is a legtiamte exchange although I thought odd, but it works. He lives in the 610- area code of Philadellphia, but they are within 5 miles or so.

So you did try the (908) VM number for the 917 exchange? Since this is a NY metro number it should work.

Either of the (215) numbers should work for the 610 exchange. Did you have a problem with them?

Yes I tried ALL the numbers in Philadelphia as well as the 908 NJ number and none worked.
I called them both separately and got the numbers from them.

610-731- (Phila Pa ) exchange is voicemail number 215-200-9028
917-626- (Bayside Queens NY) exchange is voicemail number 914-319-0016

these are both new numbers.

the easiest way to get your voicemail retrieval number is to call customer care... there are several (in some cases like NYC dozens ) retieval number for any given NPA range... they **can** span neighboring markets... call 611 and ask for the one that is assigned to your service... otherwise its a stab in the dark

Yeah, I was guessing you had, but I just wanted to be sure. Glad you were able to get the correct ones.
