Voice Mail Service
Voice mail service
Voice mail is an automatic answering service offered by your service provider/telephone company. After you subscribe to this service, your service provider/telephone company’s voice mail system answers calls for you when you are unavailable to answer the phone or when your line is busy. Messages are recorded by your service provider/telephone company, not your telephone. Please contact your service provider/telephone company for details of this service.
Important:
L To use the voice mail service provided by your service provider/telephone company rather than the unit’s answering system, turn off the answering system (page 36). For details, see page 41.
Voice Mail message indication
The unit lets you know that you have new voice mail messages by showing “VoiceMail:Line1” and/or “VoiceMail:Line2” on the display.
To listen to your voice mail messages, you must dial your service provider/telephone company’s voice mail access number.
Note:
L If the base unit or handset still indicates there are new messages even after you have listened to all new messages, turn it off by pressing and holding {OFF} on the handset until a beep sounds.
L If your voice mail service uses voice mail tones and the message is over 3 minutes long, the unit may not indicate new messages.
Voice mail (VM) tone detection
Your service provider/telephone company sends special signals (sometimes called “voice mail tones” or “stutter tones”) to the unit to let you know you have new voice mail messages. If you hear a series of dial tones followed by a continuous dial tone after you lift the corded handset or press {C}, you have new voice mail messages. Minutes after you hang up a call or after the phone stops ringing, your unit checks the phone line to see if new voice mail messages have been recorded.
Turn this feature off when:
–You do not subscribe to voice mail service.
–Your service provider/telephone company does not send voice mail tones.
–Your phone is connected to a PBX.
If you are not sure which setting is required, contact your service provider/telephone company.
