3.8.2 Retrieving messages and accessing a voice mailbox

The first time you access your voice mailbox, you are prompted to assign a password, record a greeting and record your name for the dial-by-name directory.

For the general mailboxes, there are no directory listings and you are not prompted to record a name. If you wish to have your name in the company directory, use the mailbox associated with its extension as the directory is related to the extension’s mailbox. When your mailbox has been set up, you access it through the prompt instructions.
