Answering system and voicemail
Your telephone has separate indicators for two different types of voice
messages: those left on its built-in answering system and those left at 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 differently. If
displays and the voicemail light
on the telephone base turns on, your telephone service provider is indicating
that it has new voicemail for you. To listen to your voicemail, you typically
dial an access number provided by your telephone service provider, followed
by a security code or PIN. To listen to messages recorded on your digital
answering system, press
/PLAY/STOP on the telephone base (page 62).
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 your telephone answering system and voicemail together by
setting your built-in answering system to answer before voicemail answers.
To learn how to program your voicemail settings, contact your telephone
service provider. Set your answering system to answer calls at least two rings
earlier than your voicemail is set to answer. For example, if your voicemail
answers after six rings, set your answering system to answer after four rings.
Some voicemail 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. By doing this, 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.
Message capacity
The answering system can record and store up to 99 messages. Each
message can be up to four minutes in length. The total storage capacity for
the announcement, messages and memos is approximately 14 minutes.
The actual recording time depends on individual message characteristics.
Messages remain available for replay until you delete them.
