Hey there @bripco.  Thanks for reaching out about your home phone service, and we'd be happy to help with you retrieving your messages. 

 

We appreciate @spoom2 for providing that helpful information. 

 

We'd recommend checking out this information on how to check your voicemail messages. You'll need to check the section on how to retrieve messages from anywhere. 

 

To check voicemail when you're away from home, dial your home phone number from any phone, press * (to skip the voicemail greeting), and then follow steps that are above them that you'd use to check from home. 

 

You can also listen to your voice message by dialing your access code. If you're away from home, but there's a chance someone may answer your home phone, you may want to check for messages by using your Access Number. Dial the Access Number instead, enter your home phone number, and when prompted, enter your mailbox PIN: 

 
To find your Access Number:
  1. Sign in to your online myAT&T account.
  2. Select Home Phone from the top navigation bar, then select Manage Features.
  3. Your voicemail Access Number appears in the Call Forwarding section.
Let us know if this helps.

Have you tried this from more than one device? As you said the manual says to enter the code when the machine answers. Make sure it's your answering machine that's answering and not the phone companies voicemail.
