Is there a way to hear voice mail and see text messages online?

My Stratosphere fell to the floor last night, and I can no longer see the display. Nothing I or the Verizon support guy could do today restored the display. The phone has rung but touching the screen to answer it does not work. I have purchased a new Stratosphere on e-Bay - I don't trust the locals to repair the phone properly - but there'll be a few days until I can get phone service again. Is there any way to access voice mail and text messages through the Verizon website or another phone during this period?

Text messages, no.  Voicemail, from any other phone, dial your 10 digit number, and when your greeting starts to play, press # and you should be prompted for your password, and can access your messages as you would with your own phone.

If there are people with whom you are expecting to exchange text messages, you can contact them to let them know of your plight by sending an e-mail to their text message address. For instance, 1111111111@vtext.com or 1111111111@txt.att.net. Of course you have to limit the message to text-message length.
