Welcome to Bell!
I need to ask a couple of questions? Did you port your telephone number from Rogers to Bell?
If so, which Bell Fibe Home phone package do you subscribe to?
Have you setup your Bell Call Answer (voicemail ) on Bell Home phone? You mentioned a pin number? Is this a pin number that you used from Rogers?
I have included the following set up instructions for your voicemail. (Please note that you must enter your temporary initial password which is your 7-digit telephone number (no area code)
Setting up Call Answer
- From home, dial *98 . If away from home call 1-877-235-5777 and when prompted for your mailbox number, enter your 10-digit home telephone number.
- When prompted to enter a temporary password, enter your 7-digit telephone number (no area code)
- Follow the prompts to change the temporary password to a new one. It should be 4 to 15 digits and cannot start with 0.
- Follow the prompts to record your name or telephone number as a personal identification.
- Follow the prompts to record a personal greeting that callers will hear or select the pre-recorded greeting.
- Press the * key to exit. Your Call Answer is now activated.

We are relatively new to bell Fibe, hence the username.Since our arrival on fibe we have been unable to access our voicemail messages using *98. when we do try it will not accept our pin. What can we do to retrieve our messages? We had no issues with the phone prior to our move from rogers to bell fibe
any help would be appreciated
thanks
