Answering system and voicemail indicators
Your telephone has separate indicators for two different types of voice
messages: those left on its built-in digital answering system
and those left at your telephone service provider’s voicemail
(fees may apply). Your telephone’s built-in digital answering
system messages and voicemail messages are separate.
Each alerts you to new messages differently.
If and XX New messages show on the handset
and the message window on the telephone base
flashes, there are new messages in the built-in
answering system. To listen to messages recorded on
your digital
answering system, press /PLAY/STOP
on the telephone base (page 64).
If and New voicemail display on the handset, your telephone service
provider is indicating that it has new voicemail for you. To listen to your
voicemail, dial an access number provided by your telephone service
provider, followed by a security code or PIN.
Some telephone service providers bundle or combine multiple services
like voicemail and call waiting, so you may not be aware that you have
voicemail. To check what services you have and how to access them,
contact your telephone service provider.
To use your voicemail service rather than the answering system, turn off the
answering system. To use the answering system rather than your voicemail
service, contact your telephone service provider to deactivate your
voicemail service.
NOTE: After reviewing all new messages, the number of old messages appears on the
message window.
