The Voicemail service of MetroPCS mobile phones provides access to saved and new voicemail on your account, and you can get it from any phone. Once in the voicemail menu, the mobile phone's keypad functions as command keys for fast forwarding, pausing or stopping the currently playing message. In addition to voicemail access, another of the many features of MetroPCS voicemail is the ability to convert voicemail to text, which allows you to read rather than listen to voicemail when necessary.
Step 1
Push "1" on your MetroPCs phone's keypad and push "Send" to dial your account's voicemail. Alternately, dial your cell phone number from an alternate phone and wait until the call goes to voicemail. Press * and enter your voicemail's passcode to gain access to your unheard and saved messages. The default password for your voicemail is 9999.
