When I connect to MyBell and select home phone service, view my package & features and scroll down I am not able to find « voicemail manager » anywhere on the page.  Is that feature still available or do I need to call Bell. I would prefer to do it myself as I understand that there is a charge if I call Bell to help me with resetting my password.
