External Mailbox Initialization
External mailbox initialization is not enabled by default. This is a security feature that makes it more difficult to tamper with or gain access to the mailboxes fraudulently. When external mailbox initialization is disabled, mailboxes can be initialized only from an internal telephone.
Subscribers who try to access an uninitialized mailbox from an external number are denied access. After the subscriber initializes their mailbox from an internal telephone, they can access their mailbox from any tone dial telephone.
