There used to be a way to call a cell phone...

then press a button so the caller can have the call go immediately to voicemail.

Does anyone know/remember how to do this?

Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Voicemail service connects cell phone users with callers even when the user is unavailable. Features allow users to customize voice mail and store important messages for several weeks. For alternate voicemail service with a cell phone, the process to set up a second place to store messages begins with setting up call forwarding.
Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Forward calls to another phone number such as a business or residence. Most service providers add call forwarding to handsets upon activation of service.

Press designated keys such as the asterisk key followed by a set of numbers. Put in the phone number where the user wants calls forwarded. This step varies according to the user's cell phone service provider.

Push "Send" and then wait for a message or tone to confirm the command. Press the "End" key to finish the process.

Practice calling the user's cell phone number to hear the alternate voicemail service that should be different from the cell phone's mail message system.

Disable call forwarding by repeating Steps 1 through 3. Then push specific deactivation keys established by your cell phone service.

Tips and warning:
*
Cell phone etiquette suggests avoiding voicemail as a way to refrain from talking to people.
*
Some service providers charge fees such as airtime and long distance for calls forwarded to phone numbers outside the user's local service area.
*
Generally, the cell phone will not ring until the user disables call forwarding.
*
Hearing a busy signal after completing the call forwarding process means the procedure failed and needs redoing. Put in a test call immediately following the set up to make sure it worked.

Voicemail feature of mobile phones is usually 0 on some phones. Well, it is better to read your phone's manual to know how to access this one.

You can send calls directly to voicemail by hitting the CLEAR or END button of your device.This works with AWS, Cingular, NexTel, Orange and Sprint PCS.
