Quick setup guide

To set up the mailbox facility (available to all Sure customers) you need to first setup your phone to divert on no reply, busy and when your phone is switched off.

Once this is done simply follow these steps:

  1. dial **004*171#

  2. Now dial 171 and follow the instructions to change your security password and record a greeting (your password is initially set as “0000”)

  3. Now, every time you miss a call it will divert to your mailbox. You will receive an SMS notification on your mobile each time someone leaves you a message.

  4. To listen to your messages, simply dial 171 and listen.

    When roaming the access number 171 will not work on most networks so you will need todial +44 7624 200000, enter your mailbox number (which is your mobile number including the 7624 prefix) and then press #. You will then be asked to enter your voicemail PIN. The PIN will have been given to you when you first bought your phone. If you have never changed your voicemail PIN, the default is 0000.  If you do not know your pin please contact us on +44 7624 247 247
