Your Verizon Wireless Voice Mailbox is not password protected until you initialize it by following the tutorial prompts to select a password and record a voice signature and personalized greeting.
Call Forwarding
Forward your calls to another phone number, including your home or office number. Your wireless phone will not ring until you deactivate the service. Airtime applies to forwarded/transferred calls even if you send the call to wireline telephones.

Additional per-minute charges may apply to all forwarded calls.

Not Available in some areas.
Airtime applies to all simultaneous calls and to forwarded/transferred calls even if you send the call to wireline telephones.
Call Waiting
This feature lets you know when another caller is trying to reach you while you’re on another call. You will hear a short tone. After you hear the Call Waiting tone, you’ll have approximately 30 seconds to answer before the second caller hears a standard message or is forwarded to your Voice Mailbox. If you answer the call, airtime and other usual charges will apply to both calls until you end one call.
Not Available in some areas.
Airtime applies to all simultaneous calls and to forwarded/transferred calls even if you send the call to wireline telephones.
Caller ID
See the caller's phone number before you take the call. Caller ID may display the name and number of the person calling on your wireless phone (for all unblocked numbers). It may also display the name of the person if you’ve stored it in your phone’s memory. Calls can usually be returned by pressing one button. Caller ID is not available on all calls, on all equipment or in all areas.
