USING THE MESSAGE KEY
If you call a phone that is busy, does not answer, or is in do-not-disturb, you can use
the Messaging feature to let the other person know you called.
To signal that a message is waiting, a phone’s MSG key flashes and the display shows
the number of waiting messages. (If you leave a message for a single-line phone, the
user will hear six short tones after lifting the handset or pressing the hookswitch.)
There are two ways to leave messages:
Have the called party return your call. When the party you called responds to
the message indication, a call is automatically placed to your phone.
Leave a message with the called party’s message center (which can be a per-
son or voice mail). When the party you called responds to the message, a call is
automatically placed to his or her message center (voice mail extension) instead
of your phone.
