      No worries! Glad it's been figured out. By all means don't hesitate to send us a private message here if there's ever anything else we can assist with!

      Hmm, can you try these trouble shooting steps? 

      If *98 gives an error or dead signal: The phone line may be plugged into the wrong jack on the equipment. Ensure your home phone base is plugged directly into the TELUS Wi-Fi Hub / ONT "Phone 1" (TEL 1) port, not an ethernet or secondary port.

       

      If it keeps ringing and never goes to voicemail: Dial *94, wait a moment, and press a number between 2 and 9 to set how many rings occur before the call routes to voicemail.

       

      Resetting via Web: You can also log into your My TELUS account online under Home Phone Services to click "Reset Voicemail Password" if you get locked out.

    Hey mapp6868 - Try these steps!

     

    Pick up your landline handset and wait for the dial tone.  Dial *98.
    Enter your initial password.
    If this is treating you as a new user, follow the automated tutorial prompts to create a new password and record your name/greeting.
    If it asks for a password and your old one doesn't work, enter your 10-digit home phone number as the temporary password.  
    Follow the voice prompts to set up your personal pin and record a main greeting.
