Voice messages
The network may offer you a voice mailbox service, which you 
have to install before you can receive voice messages. After you 
have installed this mailbox (refer to the user‘s guide supplied by 
your service provider), you can divert your calls to the voice 
mailbox and callers can leave you messages.
The network informs you when you have a voice message wait-
ing. Call the mailbox number and listen to the message(s).
1. With clear display, press and hold 1 for a second to call 
your voice mailbox.
If the phone asks for the voice mailbox number, key it in and 
press (OK), see “2-6 Voice mailbox number” on page 26. You 
will obtain your voice mailbox number from your service pro-
vider upon subscription to the voice mailbox service.
2. Listen to the messages. End the call by pressing M (End).
Note: If the Navi key text Listen is available, press M 
(Listen) to call your voice mailbox.
