About the answering system
Using the answering machine and voicemail together
You can also use your telephone answering system and voicemail
together by setting your built-in answering system to answer
before voicemail answers, as described below. To learn how to
program your voicemail settings, contact your telephone service
provider. If you are on a call, or the answering system is busy
recording a message and you receive another call, the second
caller can leave a voicemail message.
Set your answering system to answer calls at least two rings
earlier than your voicemail is set to answer. For example, if your
the delay before answering calls in seconds instead of rings. In this
case, allow six seconds per ring when determining the appropriate
setting.
