How to Set Up Voicemail on a Samsung Phone

Voicemail is a service provided by your mobile carrier. The number you need to dial will be available after you insert a SIM card into your phone. With some cell providers inserting a SIM card (or setting up an eSIM) is all you have to do, but many of them require you to set up your voicemail before you begin using it.

1. First, check that voicemail is available. You can do this by opening the Phone app and then going to More > Settings > Voicemail. If there is a phone number shown, voicemail is enabled.
2. You can either copy that number and enter it into the dialer or just press and hold the 1 key on the keypad to launch it automatically.
3. If this is the first time you have accessed voicemail, you will need to choose a security code. The code usually needs to be between four and 10 digits in length.
4. The exact next steps will vary between the different service providers. Some require you to set up a personalized message or a signature (your name spoken and inserted into the message).
5. When you have completed all the required activation steps, you can hang up. Your voicemail is now ready to accept messages.
