How to hear someones voicemail greeting without calling

Q: How can I reach someones voicemail directly?

Its called Slydial. Heres how it works: Dial (267)759-3425. At the prompt, dial the person you want to reach. After you listen to a short ad, you can leave your message.

There are two ways to listen to any voicemail. This is to be on the cell phone that the voicemail is registered with and call the voicemail function or to call the voicemail number for the service provider and get into the voicemail this way.

You do not have to call the person that the voicemail is registered with.

You should, however, have a think about why you are listening to voice messages that are clearly not intended for you. If you had the right to listen to these, the person that owns the cell phone would let you listen, or the message would have been left for you too.

It is not honest to listen into private voice messages that are intended for someone else. You must know this person if you want to listen to their messages, so why not simply just ask them what messages they have saved? If they have nothing to hide or are a close friend, they could possibly tell you. This will save you sneaking around and will also prevent any fall outs if the owner of the voicemail finds out about this break in trust.

If you find yourself wanting to listen into the voice messages of another person, you probably have deeper trust issues with this individual and rather than listening to their messages you may wish to talk to them about the trust issues you have. You cannot learn to trust someone by doing something untrustworthy yourself.
Listening to personal messages can be seen as a breach of privacy and you could get into trouble for gaining unauthorized access to these messages.

I would advise against listening into the messages of another person and instead asking them for information if there was something you wish to know.

What is a spy dialer?

It is a reverse phone lookup service that anyone can use to find information about phone numbers (both mobile and landline numbers), people, physical address, location and email addresses. The Spy Dialer for example, is a free service which works with U.S. based phone numbers and email addresses only. However, there are numerous reverse phone number search services available globally. The reverse cell phone lookup service can be particularly helpful when you are getting calls from an unknown caller and would like to know more information about them.

The Spy Dialer phone search service features a search bar where you can enter the incoming caller number, then choose one of the four available options (Hear Voicemail, Name Lookup, Photo Lookup and Phone Spam) and press the search button. If you choose Hear Voicemail, the system will allow you to play the other person’s voicemail greeting, if available. Voicemail greetings often contain a first and a last name, or even a company name and other business owner details.

As mentioned at the start, I have to deal with a huge burst of anxiety every time I make a call that most of the conversations I have must be scripted beforehand to avoid awkwardness.

But leaving voicemails cannot be narrowed down to just personal reasons.

There may be instances when you are just too busy to actually make a call and wait for the other person to pick up or call again if they don’t.

There are also cases when the WiFi or mobile data may not be working for you to send a message online, so you will have to resort to the traditional voicemail settings of the phone.

You may also not want to disturb the other person when you know they are busy.

In such cases leaving a voicemail directly can avoid so much trouble, and you can be assured that the message is conveyed.

Send Voicemail Directly via Service Provider

It all boils down to the type of service you have in use.

And in this case, the service providers you are using might or might not be able to assist you.

Here is a list of service providers who may be able to navigate you through this process.

Service Provider	Steps
AT&T	Hold the 1 key and press 2 to enter into your voicemailEnter the number and record the messagePress # to send and for special delivery options choose 1Give 2 for urgent delivery and 3 for private delivery
Verizon	Call the voicemail access number and press 2 to send messageFollow instructions givenAdd delivery option: 1 – private, 2 – urgent, 3 – request confirmation and 4 – future delivery Press on # to send voic-email
T-Mobile	Call the number 1 – 805 – 637 – 7243Log in to the voicemail account Follow the instructions given to send voicemail
Sprint	Call the voicemail number and sign in firstChoose the option to send message Follow instructions given
Straight Talk	Dial #86 and login using the login PIN numberPress 2 and type in receiver’s numberPress # and record messagePress # again to send finally

It is also important to know that these voicemail services work only if the receiving party has the same service provider.

For example, AT&T can send voicemails to AT&T customers only, and the same goes with Verizon, T-Mobile and Sprint.

Hence, make sure that you are sending your voicemails via the correct service providers and know the receiving party’s service provider.

Call Via Voicemail Inbox

This is the most common method mentioned in the above section.

You can call your own voicemail inbox and sign in using the login code to check for the methods of sending a voicemail without calling.

You can check the specific settings within your voicemail inbox for the option of sending a voicemail, and once you click on it, you can just follow the prompted instructions.

The steps will always vary from service provider to service provider but will only work within the same service provider.

Use Voice Notes on Messaging Apps

There is always the obvious choice of leaving your Voicemail via the popular messaging apps like WhatsApp, Instagram, etc.

But when it comes to any scenario where the internet is not available, you will have to resort to extra measures.

There are mainly two applications that allow you to achieve such a feat: Slydial and WhatCall.

Let us look into these apps in detail over the next few sections of the guide.

Use Slydial

Before using Slydial, there are a few things you need to know about it first.

You can get Slydial for free and access all operations for free, but you will receive ads in between, which can disrupt you from time to time.

To avoid this, there is a premium option available for Slydial where you will have to pay just a small amount.

Now moving on to the actual call, you should have the app installed and ready to go before making the calls.

After creating an account, you can connect to its services by dialing 267-SLYDIAL on your phone’s normal call app.

You will hear a set of instructions as an audio prompt and enter the number when asked.

Record the message after you have given the number of the receiver and lastly hit send.

One of the important things to keep in mind while using Slydial services is that it works only for mobile phones.

Even if the receiver has a digital landline with recording provisions, the app will not allow you to send voicemails to that number.

Use WhatCall

WhatCall is another app available for download on both iOS and Android that will help you leave voicemails without calling.

Unlike Slydial, you will have to pay $0.99 for its services.

The app comes with the feature to export contacts from the user’s phone into the app for quick access.

You can just select the number you want to send the Voicemail to and call the number.

The call will not be sent, and your option goes directly to Voicemail without the other end ringing.

Cut out the Middleman and Head Straight to Voicemail

Even though there are only two specific apps mentioned in the guide, you can always look for more apps, but make sure to check if they are all legit to prevent any mishaps.

There have been some user complaints directed at Slydial and WhatCall that they work only sometimes, so look for signs of your app running into any trouble.

There is an option within the specific contact you can access from the three-dot icon that allows you to Route to Voicemail directly on some Android phones.
