1. Before You Begin

You probably already have many of the skills necessary to use the CLASSIC MAIL System.

Know Your Phone

Using the CLASSIC MAIL system is a simple matter of using

a touch-tone phone. You press various keys to gain access

to your mailbox, use its functions, and move around in the

system.

Before you use your mailbox, you should know that an operator or receptionist is called an attendant and a phone extension is called an intercom.
