Voice messaging is a subscription service available through most service providers for a monthly fee.. Some service providers may not offer compatible voicemail service.. Contact your local telephone company for more information..

While in idle, your handset will display NO MESSAGES when there are no new (unheard) messages in your voicemail.. In addition, when you have new messages, the handset will display, for example:

12/28 2:34 AM

After calling your voicemail service and listening to the new messages, the indicators will be turned off within a few seconds after you complete your call.. You can retrieve your voicemail messages from any telephone..
