Voice mail service
V
oice mail is an automatic answering service
offered by your service provider/telephone
company. After you subscribe to this service, your
service provider/telephone company’s voice mail
system answers calls for you when you are
unavailable to answer the phone or when your line
is busy. Messages are recorded by your service
provider/telephone company, not your telephone.
Please contact your service provider/telephone
company for details of this service.
Important:

service provider/telephone company rather than
the unit’s answering system, turn off the
answering system (page 31). For details, see
page 34.
