All about the Sosh answering machine
The answering machine is a feature that could not be more basic and is nevertheless essential since it allows our correspondents to leave voice messages in the event of no response. If you do not want to miss a single call, we invite you now to consult our guide to activate call forwarding at Sosh.There are two ways to check your voicemails with your Sosh mobile plan:
- By dialing 888, or by holding the answering machine shortcut key (key 1 for mobiles purchased on the Sosh store)
- Via visual voicemail (MVV) which allows you to listen to and manage your voicemail messages directly from your smartphone via a visual interface
Regarding the volume and duration of storage of voice messages on your answering machine, you should know that Sosh keeps your messages for 15 days. It is possible to save a message for an additional 14 days. Your answering machine can contain a maximum of 30 voice messages.
Note that visual voicemail does not have these limitations since the messages are stored directly on your phone.
How do I activate visual voicemail?
To listen to your messages without having to contact 888, it is possible to activate visual voicemail. First, you need to download the Orange Visual Voice Mail application and install it. Logically, the service should work instantly thanks to this application.
If you are having problems getting visual voicemail to work then we recommend that you contact Sosh customer service.

To check your voicemail messages from abroad, one of the best solutions is visual voicemail. However, if this Orange application does not suit you, you can then consult your messages by calling the answering machine. First of all, it is necessary to define a secret messaging code. Note that this will also allow you to view your messages from another mobile line than yours.To define a secret code, dial 888 then type 3 to select the section allowing you to define a secret code.

How to activate voice command on your Sosh answering machine?
To avoid the hassle of "press 2 to save", "press 3 to delete" and so on, you can activate the voice command of your answering machine in order to control it entirely with your voice.The procedure is the same as that indicated above for defining a secret messaging code: dial 888, then type 3 to access the section concerned.
