I'm so sorry - I don't understand!!!
If you have ATT cell service, you have a separate number that you call to get your stored messages. You get a notice that there is a message, then you dial the central number to retrieve it. I'm not sure but I think it's the same central number for everybody in the area code.
Anybody can dial into that voicemail number and leave a message for anyone on the system. You can also send a voice message to any number -- I don't think it has to be just an ATT number -- without making a call to that number.
I've done it a time or two when when spouse is hiking and I know the phone is unreachable -- it's quicker than waiting for the phone to ring however many times and then go through its big menu. Never occurred to me that you could use it to hide your tracks.
