HOME ANSWERING MACHINES
Use of home answering machine systems is not recommended
as some systems may not be compatible with the Wireless
Home Phone Base.
If you choose not to use the voicemail provided by the Wireless
Home Phone Base, you can use your home answering machine
by plugging it into the Phone 2 Port on the back of the Wireless
Home Phone Base.
Then, set your answering machine to pick up calls in fewer rings
than the voicemail service, which is set to 4 rings by default.
RETRIEVING MESSAGES
To retrieve voice messages, press 1 on any home phone
connected to the Wireless Home Phone Base and wait 4
seconds to connect to your Consumer Cellular voicemail box.
Simply follow the voice prompts to listen to and manage your
messages. Alternately, you may dial your 10-digit home phone
number to access your voicemail box.
REMOTE RETRIEVAL
To retrieve voicemail messages from a phone not connected
to the Wireless Home Phone Base, dial the number associated
with your Wireless Home Phone Base service.
When voicemail picks up, press the Star key (
*
). You will then
be prompted to enter your password.
Simply follow the prompts to listen to and manage your
voicemail messages.
