Are you a new cable or VoIP subscriber?
If your answer is yes, the existing telephone jacks in your home may no longer
work. Your cable/VoIP service provider uses a different connection, separate
from your old traditional telephone service, to connect the modem/router/terminal
adapter installed in your home.
To allow all existing telephone jacks to work, contact your telephone service
provider for solutions, such as rewiring services (fees may apply).
If your answer is no, your existing telephone jacks will continue to work as normal.
Did you subscribe to voicemail service from your telephone
service provider?
This telephone does not have a built-in answering system. This telephone
supports voicemail feature offered by your telephone service provider
(subscription is required, and fees may apply).
To use the voicemail:
To retrieve your voicemail messages, you typically dial an access number provided
by your telephone service provider, and then enter a security code. Contact your
telephone service provider for instructions on how to configure the voicemail
settings and listen to messages.
