About Mailboxes

This answering system offers three voice mailboxes, providing a convenient way to share an answering system with other members of your household or business. Callers using a touch tone phone can select the mailbox in which their messages will be recorded by pressing 1, 2 or 3 after the system answers the call. Those not using a touch tone phone, or those who do not press 1, 2 or 3, can still leave a message, which is automatically recorded in Mailbox 1.

Announcement Options

Before using this answering system, you should record an announcement (up to three minutes long) that callers will hear when the system answers a call. Callers can skip the announcement by pressing #.

When you record an announcement, make sure you indicate who has been assigned

each mailbox, and that callers should press 1, 2 or 3 to access the appropriate mailbox.
