Use the built-in answering system and voicemail service
You can use your answering system and voicemail service together by setting your answering system to answer before voicemail service answers as described below. To learn
how to program your voicemail settings, contact your telephone service provider.
If you are on a call, or if 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 service is set to answer. For example, if your voicemail service answers after six rings,
set your answering system to answer after four rings. Some voicemail service providers may program the delay before answering calls in seconds instead of rings. In this case,
allow six seconds per ring when determining the appropriate setting.
