17lMailbox Management

When you have a mailbox, you are regarded as a Subscriber. You can receive and send messages and answer incoming calls via a mailbox. Before you begin normal operations, you have to log into the main command menu to customize your mail- box. You can set up your mailbox by telephone. Just call the VPS Voice Mail service and enter the star key and your mailbox number. It is important to also have a password (up to eight digits) to access the Subscriber service menu.

You have to set up your mailbox about the following before use:

-Recording your name

Played to the callers when they enter the spelling of your name to reach you.

-Recording Personal Greetings

Greet the callers who reach your mailbox. You can record three types.
