Is there any way to call someone who's cell phone is on and go directly to her voicemail?

Asked by 2late2be (2292points) December 4th, 2009 from iPhone

I want to say something to my cousin, but I want to leave her a message on her voicemail instead of telling her, but her cell phone is turned on right now, any way to go directly to her voicemail?

Leave yourself a voicemail, and forward it to your cousin.

dial your voicemail then press <2> and follow the directions to call someone’s voicemail directly .

also dialing 11-xxx-yyy-zzzz goes directly to that numbers voice mail PCS – PCS, I think.

Read that there is a service called slydial, free on web. One supposedly can use it as a free intermediary directly to someone elses voice mail.

I have Verizon, and can send a voice mail to anyone from my voice mail.

Isn’t there something like an SMS thing for that purpose?

@DrBill really? That’s interesting. After you get into your VM, how do you get it to the right person?

or you could always do it the iold fashioned way…call, let it ring once the call again from a different phone number (cell, different line at work whatever) and it will go straight to voicemail
