  • Dial **61*# to direct your phone company to (conditionally) forward your calls to us.
    • For example, if the Pirate Voicemail number you claimed is 2505551212, then you would dial: **61**2505551212#
    • You do not need to preface the phone number with the digit "1"
    • If that didn't work you can try **61**2505551212#
    • If that didn't work you can try **67**2505551212#
