To set up voicemail on AT&T Wireless Home Phone, wait at least five minutes after powering on the device, then pick up the connected home phone and dial 1. Follow the voice prompts to create a password and record your greeting, completing the setup in a few minutes.
How to set up voicemail on AT&T Wireless Home Phone
Setting up voicemail on your AT&T Wireless Home Phone takes just a few minutes and can be done from the connected home phone or through the AT&T online phone portal. Before you begin, ensure the device has been powered on for at least five minutes. AT&T device support pages specifically document voicemail setup for the AT&T Wireless Home Phone (LG AF300) and WF721 models.
Before you begin
After turning on your Wireless Home Phone device, wait at least five minutes before attempting to set up voicemail. You have two methods available for setup:
- From any phone connected to the device
- Using the AT&T online phone portal
Set up voicemail by dialing 1
This is the primary method for setting up and managing voicemail on your AT&T Wireless Home Phone. Pick up the connected home phone, press 1, and wait about four seconds for AT&T wireless voicemail to connect. Follow the voice prompts to create a password or PIN and record your greeting.
Set up voicemail using the AT&T phone portal
Log into the AT&T online phone portal and navigate to Voicemail settings, then General settings. Turn Voicemail to On, then select Launch voicemail setup to complete the process from your computer.
Create your voicemail password
During setup, you will be prompted to create a password. Depending on your device model, the documented password length ranges from 6 to 10 digits on AT&T's home-phone setup page, or 4 to 15 digits on device support pages for specific Wireless Home Phone models. The pages do not give a single universal PIN/password length for all Wireless Home Phone devices; the documented limit varies by AT&T support page and device model. You may also be prompted to set an 8-digit authentication code for password recovery. AT&T also documents a separate mobile-phone voicemail setup flow with a 7- to 15-digit password, but that applies to AT&T mobile phones, not Wireless Home Phone.
Record your greeting
When prompted during setup, record your name and press the # key. To save the recording, press 1. To record again, press 2. You will then be guided to record a personal greeting or choose a pre-recorded system greeting if available.
Check for new voicemail messages
When you have a new voicemail message, the device's voicemail LED will blink green. You may also hear an intermittent dial tone when picking up the phone. To check messages while away from home, call your Wireless Home Phone number, wait for voicemail to answer, then press * and enter your voicemail password.
