can't set up voice mail - can't answer voice mails

When I signed up, I got a link that was supposed to help me set up the voice mail that I'm paying form. It did not let me do that. When I hold "1" down for voice mail, it takes me to an automatic message that says, "This person cannot be reached at the moment" - it's my own voice mail! The voice mail that I cannot access, cannot set up with my own outgoing message, and which tells me "Someone at (my number) tried to reach you and left a message." I am in a circle I can't get out of, and it's really irritating.

Fizz has no solutions for this. The solutions on the community hub do not work - I've tried each one (they're really the same solution). There is no one to talk to. This is frustrating, and meanwhile, I have people leaving messages for me that I cannot answer. Help!

    Hi

    You must record a personalized 30-second greeting that people will hear when they are transferred to your voicemail. The system will guide you to record it.

    Hi @leighanne

    I am assuming you already checked this article: https://fizz.ca/en/faq/how-do-i-set-up-my-voicemail

    Instead of hitting just "1", try to dial the voicemail number: 1-514-647-0999. Sometimes the "1" in your phone may be linked to a different shortcut :)

    Also, MAKE sure you have any call forwarding disabled. That can mess with all sorts of stuff with voicemail.

    As others have mentioned, if the problem persits,

    It is best if you discuss directly with a customer service agent, maybe they can reset the mailbox.

    • Sign into your account
    • Follow the link on this page: https://fizz.ca/en/faq/status-services
    • Wait 3 seconds for the green bubble with a '?' appears at the bottom right of the browser, if you use a phone you must use it in desktop or horizontal mode
    • Choose the option 💬 chat
    • If the green bubble does not appear make sure your ad blocker is disabled, otherwise try with another browser.

    Other means of contact

    CHAT however is the quickest method.

    Hello,

    Yes, I have tried the solutions provided, and they do not work. None of them, I'm afraid. I responded in detail by email, and I hope someone can help me get into voice mail.

    Best regards,

    Leigh Anne Shaw
