VOICE MESSAGES

If you subscribe to voice mail, your service provider will furnish you with a voice mailbox number. You need to save this number to your phone to use voice mail. When you receive a voice message, your phone lets you know by beeping, displaying a message, or both. If you receive more than one message, your phone shows the number of messages received.

Save your voice mailbox number

Your service provider may have already saved your voice mailbox number to your phone. If so, the number will appear in step 2. Select OK to leave the number unchanged.

1Select Menu > Messages > Voice messages > Voice mailbox number.

2If the box is empty, enter the voice mailbox area code and number, and select OK.

Call and set up your voice mail

1Once you have saved the voice mailbox number, press and hold the 1 key.

2When you connect to voice mail and the prerecorded greeting begins, follow the service’s automated instructions to set up your voice mail.

Listen to your voice messages

Once you have set up voice mail, you can dial the number in one of four ways:

Dial the number, by using the keypad.

Press and hold the 1 key.

Select Listen if there is a notification message in the display.

Select Menu > Messages > Voice messages > Listen to voice messages. After a brief pause, your phone dials the voice mail number.

Once you connect and the prerecorded greeting begins, follow the automated instructions to listen to your voice messages.

Automate voice mail

You can insert special characters called dialing codes into phone numbers such as voice mail and then save the number to a 1-touch dialing location. Dialing codes instruct the receiving system to pause, wait, bypass, or accept the numbers that follow them in the dialing string.

Note: Each voice mail service can vary. The examples and steps that follow are for clarification. Check with your service provider if you have specific questions about your voice mail service.
