<p>To change your voicemail greeting, just call your voicemail;
you'll be presented with a menu of options, including the option to
change your greeting. If the menu doesn't trigger, it's because
your voicemail inbox is empty. You can leave yourself a quick
message, and then when you call into the voicemail again the menu
will play.</p></div>Whistle Catherinetag:support.whistlephone.com,2010-02-09:Comment/337760142014-07-15T04:23:08Z2014-07-15T04:23:08ZWhistle<div><p>Does anyone know if you have to be on a network or can you just

<p>Yep, you can use Whistle on either WiFi or a cellular network.
Just note that to call non-Whistle numbers, you will need to
purchase Whistle credit first. Please use the following steps:</p>
<ol>
<li>Open up your Whistle Phone app<br></li>
<li>Go to the Account Management section of the Whistle Phone app
using the "i" or "Account" button<br></li>
<li>Sign into your account (if necessary)<br></li>
<li>Click the "[Add to Balance]" link to the left of the My Service
tab and choose the amount you'd like to add.</li>
</ol>
<p>From there, since you're using an iPhone, an iTunes screen
should open and allow you to complete the transaction. Please make
sure you have a functioning iTunes account before you begin.</p>
<p>Let me know if you have any trouble.</p></div>Whistle Eleanortag:support.whistlephone.com,2010-02-09:Comment/337760142014-07-16T00:29:11Z2014-07-16T00:29:55ZWhistle<div><p>Hi there<br>
Can I use a 3GS iPhone that is not on a network?<br>
Can I use a blackberry torch that is not on a network ?<br>
How do you just use wifi?<br>
It's urgent I check on my mom each night at least and<br>
I haven't been able since last Thursday<br>
Any help or info is greatly appreciated<br>
Her number is just a landline in assisted care<br>
By Telus Edmonton Alberta<br>
I'm trying to find the best clarity for her hearing challenges<br>
So I won't need my free long distance I have - a local access
number here .295.ca<br>
What are the fees<br>
Thanks for your help<br>

<p>I'm afraid Whistle isn't available for the Blackberry, but you
can use Whistle on an iPhone. You should be able to use the
following steps to find a WiFi network and connect on your
iPhone:</p>
<ol>
<li>Touch "Settings"<br></li>
<li>Touch "Wi-Fi"<br></li>
<li>If Wi-Fi is off, touch "OFF" to switch it to "ON"<br></li>
<li>Select the Wi-Fi network you want to use<br></li>
<li>Enter the network password<br></li>
<li>Touch "Join"<br></li>
<li>You're now connected to the Wi-Fi network.</li>
</ol>

<p>As I said above, you will need a balance of credit in your
Whistle account to call any non-Whistle number, including your
mother's Alberta landline. Our current listings for Alberta
are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Canada-Alberta A: 2.45¢/min</li>
<li>Canada-Alberta B: 2.45¢/min</li>
<li>Canada-Alberta Overlay: 2.45¢/min</li>
</ul>
<p>These are subject to change, so please check our <a href=
"https://www.whistlephone.com/rates/">Rates listing</a> regularly
to make sure you have the most recent information. All prices are
in US dollars.</p>
<p>I hope that works out for you. Again, let me know if you need
anything else.</p></div>Whistle Eleanor
