Voicemail on Instinct

Calling 513-225-6245 is the number you can call (from a non SPrint phone) to check your voicemail. But WHen I call the number to check my voicemail for my Instinct, it keeps saying "Sorry that is not a vaild SPrint PCS mail box".
DOes the visual voicemail make it so you can't check the voicemail for your Instinct (even if the phone is powered off)?

That's right folks visual voicemail servers are completey seperate from regular voice mail severs , they do not recognize your instinct number . You also can not forward regular voicemail from another line to your instinct. awesome huh ?

SO there is no way to check the voicemail unless you have the phone in hand? That kinda sucks, I like to check voicemail throughout the day while at work since I can't have my phone at my desk with me.

This works for me, and I am using the instinct:
Call your cell number.
Hit * during your greeting.
Follow prompts (I believe it will ask for your pw next).
