Accessing voicemail from home phone?

[kristinsw]

My husband set up his home phont voicemail more than two years ago and claims we can only retrieve messages by calling from our cell phones. I know this isn't true, and I want to access the voicemail from our home phone. I can't find his original literature, and I'm stumped - every time I try to call our own number from our home phone, I get a recording ("You have called a party on your own line. Please hang up ...").

You can dial your own telephone number from the home telephone number or use the access number.
