To check voicemail when you're away from home, dial your home phone number from any phone, press * (to skip the voicemail greeting), and then follow the same steps above for listening to voice messages from home.

Dial your Access Number
If you're away from home, but there's a chance someone may answer your home phone, you may want to check for messages by using your Access Number. Dial the Access Number instead, enter your home phone number, and when prompted, enter your mailbox PIN.

To find your Access Number:

1. Sign in to your online myAT&T account.
2. Select Home Phone from the top navigation bar, then select Manage Features.
3. Your voicemail Access Number appears in the Call Forwarding section.
