Up until today, I would just dial my own number and pop in the code to check
messages on my landline.
Now I get a busy signal instead of the message box.
Is there another way to check? Am I the only one with this issue today?

Just for interest sake, with Aliant in NB, you can hit #1231234password
with no spaces and it goes to your box. 1231234 would be your 7 didit
cell phone number

I had this issue a week or so ago. I ended up discovering dialling *99 then
my code.
That seems to work fine.
I hope it works for you.

I have never been able to do that from a remote location. It only
seems to work on Eastlink number and not an Aliant number that was
carried over.

To check your Eastlink Voice Mail from a remote location, call your number,
press * (not #) to interrupt the greeting (don't wait for the greeting to
finish) and it will ask you to enter your password.

Can't you also use 446-MAIL (6245) to access your Eastlink voicemail from
any phone?

That's what you do to check your messages from home and it's not new.
It's in the instructions that I received when I signed up over 2 years
ago.
Also, when I call 446-6235 from a remote location, it doesn't
recognize my number as an Eastlink number.

Yes, but it's quicker and easier to just call your own number, calling
446-MAIL requires you to
enter your area code & number (902)XXX-XXXX then password, so you enter 17
digits before enetering password. When you call your own number you enter
7 digits, * and password. a lot simpler and not as prone to errors.

It does if you're calling from home but from elsewhere it works
like a charm!

That method worked great for me when I signed up for eastlink phone service
in June. It just stopped working a few days ago. Not that it matters much
:-)
