How to Set Up and Check Home Phone Voicemail

Last reviewed 2026-05-11

Purple Cow Home Phone voicemail is managed from the phone line itself, so setup is usually just a matter of dialing into voicemail and following the prompts.

Before You Start

  • Make sure your Home Phone has dial tone before you try to set up voicemail.
  • Keep a PIN and greeting idea in mind before you start the voicemail setup steps.

Steps

  1. Use your Home Phone to open voicemail management, including *98 where that access code is supported.
  2. Follow the prompts to set your voicemail PIN and record your greeting.
  3. Check voicemail again after setup to make sure the mailbox opens the way you expect.
  4. If you forget the PIN or voicemail won't open, reach out and we'll help from there.
