Voicemail Service

Hero Voicemail puts you in control of setting up and accessing your messages from anywhere. Our standard voicemail features include personal recordings for BUSY and UNAVAILABLE, save, delete, forward and the ability to deliver via email and use SMS for notifications (charges apply).

You can check your voicemail from any Hero phone line by simply dialing *55 on your handset. If you wish to check your voicemail externally from a non-Hero phone then you can dial:

  +64-9-242-0000 (or 09-242-0000 inside NZ)

You will be prompted for your phone number (which should be in 0x xxx xxxx format) and then your PIN code. Before you can do this however you will need to assign yourself a PIN number your voicemail settings

Simply login with your Hero phone line and then assign a PIN code in the 'Voicemail PIN number:' field. You can also forward voicemails to an email address and setup other options in this page.
