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.
