Voicemail


If your telephone system includes a voicemail server, pressing the MESSAGES button accesses voicemail. Your system administrator can configure whether the access uses either spoken prompts from the voicemail server or visual menus on the phone called 'visual voice'. This guide assumes the default operation of using the visual voice menus.

Using visual voice, you can access the following functions:

Checking Messages

Record and Send a Message

Change Your Mailbox Greeting

Change Your Mailbox Name

Select a Voicemail Email Mode

Change Your Voicemail Code

Turn Use of Voicemail On/Off

Transfer to Voicemail

Send a Call to Voicemail

Other Functions

This guide covers just the visual voice functions that you can use from the phone's menus. For the full range of mailbox controls that you may be able to use, contact your system administrator for the mailbox user guide appropriate to the type of voicemail server and mailbox mode that your system uses.

Default Short Codes

Short codes are numbers that you can dial to enable and disable various features. The following are default short codes that may be available. However, your system administrator can remove and change the short codes available to you or all users. To use a short code, you may have to put your currently call on hold.
