Question
How do I pick up messages from a landline?

Answer
You will need to know the 10 digit voice mail number that is associated with your cell phone voice mail account. You can typically view this from your BlackBerry if you look at what is coded behind the voice mail number. Go into the phone options and look at voice mail and it will show you the number. When you call that number from a landline, it will ask you to put in your wireless number and your PIN code. The PIN code was established when you got your voice mail for the first time. If you don't know that code because you don't have it put it in when you call from your cell phone, call your carrier and have them change it for you.
