Update on December 6, 2019.
We had a successful voicemail migration earlier this month. If you are experiencing any issues, we are here to assist you at 1-866-468-3472 or UScustomerservice@allstream.com.
Some helpful tips:
- If you previously forwarded voicemail or fax messages to email, we suggest that you log in to the new online portal at myvoice.allstream.com and confirm that “Message Settings” reflect the appropriate forward-to email.
- An easy way to access your voicemail from outside your office is to dial your line number and allow it to forward into the voicemail system. You then press * and will be prompted for your PIN. For more instructions, view the updated Voicemail Quick Start Guide.

After business hours on December 4, 2019, Allstream migrated your voicemail services to a new platform, to provide you with an improved and reliable voicemail experience. During the migration, we moved your greetings, messages, faxes, passwords and online portal logins from the old voicemail platform to the new one.
Starting on December 5, 2019, there are several important changes that impacted your service:
- Voicemail command changes: The commands that you use on your phone to hear, delete and save voicemail messages within the voicemail system will change. For example, you can still access voicemail by dialing *98 but will now dial 1 to play messages instead of 5. Download the voicemail quick start guide for all the new menu instructions.
- New URL for online portal: You’ll want to bookmark the new URL, myvoice.allstream.com, to access your online voicemail portal. In the meantime, the old URL for the portal will automatically redirect to the new portal login starting on December 5th.
- Brand new portal: While the new portal will have similar functionality to the old one, the portal will look different. Download the new portal instructions here.
- No pager notification: The new platform will not support pager notifications. Note that you can instead use email notifications as an alternative to pager notifications.
- Voicemail portal for all customers: If you didn’t previously have access to the voicemail portal, you can now use the new online portal. The first time you log in to the portal, use your phone number that is associated with the voicemail as the login and your existing PIN as your password.
- PINs and Passwords: The new platform has a PIN for access to voicemail through a telephone and a separate secure password for access to the online portal. Your existing PIN will work for both phone access and online portal access when you initially log in to the new system.
