How do I set up my voicemail?

After activating on Boost Infinite, your voicemail experience will vary based on your phone’s operating system (iOS or Android).

If you have an Android smartphone, please make sure you’ve got the DISH Visual Voicemail App downloaded and updated. This will make your life much easier. Follow the steps below to get started:

To set or change your voicemail password:

  1. On iOS: Go to Settings → Phone → Change Voicemail Passcode. Create a 7-15 digit passcode.
  2. On Android: Open the DISH Visual Voicemail App. Click the three buttons in the top right corner and then click Settings. Next, click Preferences and then click Manage Password. On this screen, you can create a 7-15 digit password.
  3. As an alternate method, you can go to your phone's dial pad and press and hold 1. This will call your voicemail and you’ll be prompted to set your password and voicemail message.

To view voicemails directly:

  1. On iOS: Access your voicemail by opening the Phone app and clicking the Voicemail tab (bottom right).
  2. On Android: Open Boost Visual Voicemail. The app’s main screen represents your voicemail inbox. Click on a voicemail to listen to it individually.

To access and listen to your voicemail:

Press and hold 1 on your phone’s keypad to automatically dial your voicemail inbox. Enter your PIN to access your voicemail.
