How to check your voicemail from another phone
When you don't have access to your own mobile phone, or if your battery has given up on you, you can always listen to your voice messages from another device. Follow these three simple steps:
- Dial the full number: Dial the operator's long number (see the table above) from any phone.
- Enter your mobile number: Follow the voice prompts and type in the mobile number that the voicemail belongs to.
- Enter your PIN code: Finish by entering the four-digit PIN code you chose when you activated the voicemail, usually followed by the hash key (#).
Important: If you haven't set up a PIN code beforehand, security measures will prevent you from accessing your voicemail from another phone. The PIN code must be set up from your own phone via the voicemail settings menu (usually menu option 3 or 4).
Technical GSM codes to manage call forwarding (USSD)
Beyond just calling your voicemail, you can control exactly when calls should be routed there using standardized GSM codes (USSD codes). These codes work exactly the same way regardless of whether you use Telia, Telenor, or Tre. The codes are dialed directly into your phone's keypad like a regular phone number. Simply replace "number" in the table below with your operator's voicemail number.
| Function | Activation code | Deactivation |
|---|---|---|
| Forward all calls (Direct) | **21*number# | ##21# |
| Forward on no answer | **61*number# | ##61# |
| Forward when phone is off | **62*number# | ##62# |
| Forward when busy | **67*number# | ##67# |
| Cancel all call forwarding | - | ##002# |
Adjust the time before a call goes to voicemail
The standard time before an unanswered call is routed to voicemail is usually 15 or 20 seconds. You can extend this up to 30 seconds (in 5-second intervals) using the following code: **61*number**seconds# (For example, to give Telia 30 seconds before answering: **61*133**30#)
Important things to know about voicemails and PIN codes
There are several technical and administrative details that are critical to know to avoid headaches and unnecessary roaming costs.
Costs abroad (Roaming) Within the EU/EEA, it costs nothing extra to receive messages in your voicemail or to listen to them. However, if you are outside the EU/EEA, you are often charged double if a call goes to voicemail: first for routing the call abroad, and then for routing it back to the voicemail in Sweden. The standard recommendation is to turn off your voicemail completely using the code ##002# when traveling outside Europe.
Forgotten PIN code If you have forgotten your PIN code, you can reset it, but this must be done from your own mobile phone or via the operator's web portal (for example, "My Pages"). If you enter the wrong code too many times from another device, the voicemail will lock down for remote access until you log in from your own device and reset the code.
