Voice Mail Service
Voice Mail Service provides features that let subscribers manage their own
mailboxes. A subscriber with a Call Answer Service mailbox or a Transfer-Only
mailbox can:
Record a name and greetings that callers hear. Hearing the name and a
greeting in the subscriber’s voice reassures callers that they have
reached the correct destination.
The subscriber can record and store up to three greetings to cover
different situations. Then the subscriber can easily activate the
appropriate greeting without having to re-record it. If the system is in
bilingual mode, the subscriber can record up to three greetings in each
language. For more information, see Greetings (Personal).
Choose a password to keep messages in the mailbox confidential. The
subscriber should change the password regularly and keep it secure. For
more information, see Personal Mailbox Administration.
Choose the extension to receive the call if the caller presses [
0 ] before,
during, or after leaving a message. For more information, see Personal
Operator.
In bilingual mode, listen to Voice Mail prompts in the language
programmed for the mailbox. See Mailbox.
