Dial Straight to Voicemail

[mitchmagi]

Could someone advise what you need to dial for MTN / Vodacom in order to go straight to their voicemail without speaking to them ?

Thanks

For Vodacom dial 082131XXXXXXX.

082(131)1234567
Just dial 131 right after the 082/072/083/073/ect code
It works with all networks...
Try it.

For Vodacom you must have 131 between the 082 or 072 and the rest of the number. Not too sure about mtn

 

[Kronik]

ok that was wierd I didnt see the other replies

 

[kokzn]

Correction: 131 works for Vodacom only! I just tested.

MTN:
Dial 083 14 and the last nine digits of the mobile number you want to contact.

[kokzn]

the last 9 digits? like this: 083 14 73 XXX XXXX

 

[sparklehorse]

111 for MTN
Edit: oh I see what the question is now - a bit unclear at first though

 

[kokzn]

@sparklehorse, read the first post!

Is there a way to do this for Virgin and cell C too?

 

[explorian]

For Cell C it is 084 13 and the last 9 digits.

For Virgin it is 084 14 and the last 9 digits.

 

[Datura]

Cool thanks alot

 

[chiskop]

When you say 9 digits, do you mean 7?

eg 084 13 ### ####

Thanks for the info here - very helpful.

Q: Can I retrieve my voicemail from another phone?

A: Yes, by dialing 133 and your cell number you can retrieve your voicemail messages from another phone. You will be asked to enter your password. If you do not have one, you may use the default password 1111.It is wise to create your own password to ensure that access to your messages is confidential.

That example's not making any sense to me though. Hope you can decipher it.

Wow... That is dodge? Basically it means anyone can check my voicemail unless I've changed my password? How many people know about this? Basically you can check any Average Joe's voice messages then...

Yip. My understanding this is basically what News of the world was doing in the UK's "phone hacking" scandal.
