How Off-Site Message Alert Works

With off-site message alert, you can be notified at an outside phone or at a pager each time a new message arrives in your mailbox. You can setup this feature to call you at either of two numbers. For example, if you’re a realtor showing a house you could tell the CLASSIC MAIL system to dial the phone number of the house first and, if you don’t answer after a specified number of attempts, the CLASSIC MAIL system will dial a car phone or a pager.

You can turn this feature on and off, set how frequently you receive an alert, and set how many alert attempts you want the CLASSIC MAIL system to make. Finally, you can select off-site message alert for only messages that are marked urgent.
