Answering system and voicemail indicators
Your telephone has separate indicators for two dierent types of voice
messages: those le on its built-in digital answering system and those
le 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 dierently.
f If and XX New messages show on the handset and the
telephone base, 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 131).
f If and New voicemail display on the
handset and the telephone base, 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 o the
answering system. To use the answering system rather than your voicemail
service, contact your telephone service provider to deactivate the voicemail
service.
