Cingular Voicemail - Speed it up

[Kris Kumar]

After I switched from T-Mobile to Cingular, one of the most annoying things was the Cingular Voicemail, it would not let me delete the voice message while listening to it; I had to wait for the currently playing message to end, before I could delete it.

The solution - rapid prompts, check it out over here.

Cool!!
Now is there anyway to go directly to a Cingular customer's mailbox to leave a voice mail when they don't answer? When I call my wife (both of us are on Cingular phones with a shared plan) and she doesn't answer, I have to listen to the recording tell me if I want to page this person do this blah blah blah, if I want to leave a message wait or press a button blah blah blah.
I just want to leave a voice mail without having to wait for the recording. Is there a way to skip past all that?

Try this for cut-thru paging options.

well I have always ignored prompting and just done this:

11 - first new message when at menu - when in message return to start of message
1 - while in message backs up 5-10 seconds
3 - while in message forward 5-10 seconds
33 - jump to end of message
337 - jump to end and delete
339 - jump to end and move to saved folder (I think Cingular holds for 21 days)
# - skip to next message (does not delete or save - just places it in skipped folder

The problem I am facing is that, I can no longer use rapid prompts. I have to wait for the message to complete, only then can I delete it.

Kris

hit "33" while in the message to get to the end

My clues are mostly while in the message not in the menus
