Answering system and voicemail
Your telephone has separate indicators for two dierent types of voice messages: those
le on its built-in answering system and those le on your service provider’s voicemail
(fees may apply). Your telephone’s built-in answering system messages and voicemail
messages are separate. Each alerts you to new messages dierently.
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. Refer to Voicemail waiting (visual message waiting) indicator in the online
user’s manual for a full description of the voicemail indicator.
If a number ashes in the message window on the telephone base and
XX NEW MESSAGES
appears on the screen of each system handset, there are new
digital answering system messages. If you turn on MSG ALERT TONE (page 8), the
telephone base beeps every 10 seconds when there are new answering system
messages. To listen to these messages, from a handset, use the PLAY MESSAGES
menu or press /PLAY/STOP on the telephone base (see Message playback on
page 18).
Some 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.
You can use the telephone answering system and voicemail together by setting the
built-in answering system to answer before voicemail. Refer to Answering system and
voicemail in the online user’s manual for instructions.
