- 1). Activate your Cingular cell phone service. Do this by either calling AT&T Cingular at 1-800-331-0500, online (direct link to AT&T Cingular Activations below under "Resources"), or by dialing 611 from your Cingular phone.
- 2). When the service is activated, press and hold down the "1" key. The phone will call into your AT&T Cingular voicemail system for the first time. You must make this call from your newly activated cell phone.
- 3). Follow the prompts. You will first be asked to create a new password for your account. Choose a four digit code that you will easily remember, but that no one else will be able to figure out. If you choose a code that someone close to you knows, that person can very simply access your AT&T Cingular voicemails from any phone.
- 4). Record your name or identifying information (this could just be you quoting your new cell phone number) when prompted.
- 5). You will be asked if you would like to 1) record a personalized greeting or 2) just have a generic pre-recorded message play including your name or phone number. If you want the caller to hear a personal message in your voice, select the option to record a new greeting. Speak your message clearly and then press the "#" key to continue. When you are satisfied with your greeting, press "1" to save it.
- 6). Listen for the system to tell you that your voicemail has been set up properly. You will automatically be transferred to your voice mailbox to listen to any existing messages.
