</span>Let's get this straight. You call yourself from any phone in the world<br>
and press '*' while listening to the message, you wind up in your own<br>
mailbox and you believe that means that you don't need a password? Do<br>
you think that the phone system somehow knows that it is you calling<br>
and not one of the other 7.4 billion people on the planet. The<br>
password is how it knows.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>You seem to misunderstand even after I have explained. I don't need a password when calling my mailbox from my own registered phone (not calling from any other phone). I don't need to call my mailbox from other phones on the planet, so I don't need a password. Consider the voicemail you get from your mobile network on your mobile phone. You don't access it from any phone in the world; you only access it from the mobile phone which has your SIM, and you probably don't enter a password for it.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><span class="">
</span>This seems to conflict with the first paragraph. Are you being asked<br>
for the mailbox number or the password? In a properly set up system,<br>
entering '*' during the message should put you into the callee's<br>
mailbox and ask for a password. Calling '*98' from your own phone, if<br>
the extension I originally showed you exists, should put you directly<br>
into your own mailbox without asking for a password.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>The password is only asked if a password has been set. A password is also asked if any number is entered after the 'mailbox' prompt.</div><div><br></div><div>Nabeel</div></div></div></div>
