Mobile Star Services and Voicemail

Overview

Our landline services include Voicemail and Star Services, designed to give you greater control over your calls. This guide explains how to set up and manage these features using your touch-tone telephone.

Home Voicemail

Home voicemail allows callers to leave messages when you cannot answer your phone. It works similarly to mobile voicemail and requires no extra equipment.

Setting Up

1. Set Up Call Diverts: To use home voicemail, you must first set up call diverts to the voicemail system. Dial the following codes from your landline:

   • Immediate (divert all calls): *21*171#

   • On Busy: *27*171#

   • No Reply: *61*171#

2. Accessing Mailbox: Once diverts are set up, dial 171 to access your voicemail. The first time you access it, you will be asked to set a 4-digit PIN (required when accessing from another phone) and record a greeting.

Managing Messages (Call 171)

• Press 1: Listen to new and saved messages (Press 1 to save, 2 to repeat, 3 to delete).
