This wikiHow teaches you how to set up your Android voicemail for the first time.

To step

1. Open your Android's Phone app. It usually looks like a phone receiver at the bottom of the home screen.
2. Keep the 1 - key pressed. If this is your first time setting up your voicemail, you will likely see a message saying "There is no voicemail number stored on the card."
   • If you press this button and are immediately forwarded to your voicemail service, listen to the instructions on how to complete the setup process.
3. Tap on Add number.
4. Tap on Service. This is the first option in the list.
5. Tap on My provider.
6. Tap on Set up. You should now see an area labeled "Voicemail Number" with the value "Not Set".
7. Tap on Voicemail number.
8. Enter your mobile phone number and tap OK. You are now ready to set up your voicemail.
9. Go back to the phone app. Tap the back button until you see the keyboard. If this doesn't work, tap the icon Phone on the home screen.
10. Keep the 1 - key on the keyboard pressed. This will call your voicemail.
11. Listen to and follow the instructions to complete the process. The rest of the steps vary by carrier, but usually you'll be asked to set up an outgoing message, create a password, and select some playback settings.
    • If you want to check your voicemail in the future, keep 1 or tap the voicemail notification on the screen.
