5 | Voicemail

Voicemail is included with your 

Fiber

 Digital Voice service and allows callers to 

leave messages when your line is busy or you do not answer.  You can retrieve 

messages by phone, online from your 

Frontier

 Digital Voice Web Portal or from 

your 

Fiber

 TV.  Not all features can be managed using all access methods.  See each 

feature for available options.  You can also add up to eight individual mailbox 

extensions for family members.

 

Note:

 

If you prefer not to have an active Voicemail service, for example, because you 

have a home answering machine, please call customer service .

 

5.1 Set Up Your Voicemail

 

Callers can leave you messages even before your mailbox has been set up; however, 
you will not be able to listen to your messages or use the other features in your 

mailbox until you complete the set up process.

Phone

To set up your Voicemail:

 

1.

 

From your home phone, 

dial *100 to access

 the 

Fiber

 Digital Voicemail system

.

 

2.

 

If you are calling while away from home, enter your home telephone number followed 
by #.

 

3.

 

Enter your starter passcode, followed by #. Your starter passcode was 
provided to you at the time you ordered your 

Fiber

 Digital Voice service.

 

4.

 

Follow the voice prompts to create a new passcode (see Note below), select the default
language and record your personal and busy greetings and name announcement.

 

5.

 

You can make changes to your mailbox options at any time. When making changes

 

by phone, follow the steps in the Menu Map in the Appendix of this User Guide. 
Changes can be made using your Web Portal, and some options can be changed 
on your 

Fiber

 TV.

 

Notes:

 

 

If you exit the set up process before completing all the steps, the next time you call your 

Voicemail, you will be required to start the set up process from the beginning . However, 

anything you have previously changed will be stored.

 

 

Please choose a passcode that is easy to remember, but difficult for others to guess . 
You cannot use repeating digits (e .g., 111111), sequential digits (e .g ., 123456) or any 
part of your phone number .
