Most voicemail systems use *86 to access voicemail. You can dial 11 on a rotary phone to substitute for the *, so you'd dial 1186 instead. However, automated systems are only capable of recognizing DTMF (touch-tone) digits, and would be unable to recognize the pulsed input from a rotary phone, and therefore you'd be unable to enter your password, or navigate through the menus. You could play the digits through the receiver, but that really defeats the point.

The short answer is you can't do it, unless you have a separate answering machine.

How do you check your messages while on a phone call?

To check your messages while on a phone call, you can use the "hold" feature to put the call on hold and access your messages, or you can use a second device to check your messages simultaneously. If your phone supports it, you can also use a split-screen feature or multitasking mode to view messages without ending the call. Just be mindful that some networks may not allow this, and the person on the other line might not be able to hear you while you're accessing your messages.
