VOICE MAIL
The most common question asked is: "What is VOICE MAIL and how does it work"?
VOICE MAIL is an easy-to-use voice answering system for residential and business subscribers. Your callers can leave messages for you when your telephone is busy or when you are away from your phone. With VOICE MAIL, you'll never worry about missing a call again.
This is how it works:
VOICE MAIL ANSWERS A CALL
A call is answered by VOICE MAIL when you do not answer your phone after a designated number of rings, or when you are already on the phone.
THE MESSAGE IS THEN STORED IN YOUR MAILBOX
The caller hears your greeting and can then leave a message. The message is stored in your "mailbox" until you listen to it. You can then delete the message or keep it to play again later.
HOW YOUR MAILBOX WORKS
Your mailbox contains your messages, your personalized greeting, and your password. You retrieve messages from your home phone or any other touch-tone telephone by calling a system-access number to reach your mailbox. You also record your greeting and create your password through your mailbox.
VOICE MAIL GUIDES YOU
At each step you hear prompts telling you which key to press or what your options are. All your interactions with the VOICE MAIL system are private, confidential, and convenient. No one else has access to your mailbox.
YOUR TELEPHONE
Your telephone may be any touch-tone model; no special equipment is required. Also, a special format is available for rotary-dial and digit-pulse phones.
