When your FOMA terminal cannot receive signals or is turned off, or you cannot
answer a call, a caller’s message can be left at the Voice Mail Service Center. The
caller will be requested to leave a message.
•
The message can be checked anywhere in Japan.
•
Voice Mail Service is an optional service that you need to subscribe to before use. Monthly fees
are charged when you use this service.
•
When you are outside the service area, you cannot use Voice Mail Service. Try again at a
location where signal conditions are better.
•
For details, see the “FOMA Network Services User’s Guide”.
•
A maximum of 20 messages (up to 3 minutes per each) can be recorded.
•
Messages are saved for 72 hours.
•
An absence announcement function is also available for just explaining that you cannot answer calls.
•
When a call arrives while your FOMA terminal is able to receive it, the ringtone sounds and the call
reception screen appears.
•
You can answer a call while the ringtone is sounding. The length of ringing (ring time) can be changed
(see p.205).
•
A second call beep sounds during a call or a ringtone sounds during packet communication when another
call is received.
•
Even if you subscribe to both Voice Mail Service and Call Forwarding Service, you cannot use both of
these services at the same time. Voice Mail Service is deactivated automatically when Call Forwarding
Service is activated. (Afterwards, even if you deactivate Call Forwarding Service, Voice Mail Service does
not automatically restart.)
•
If a hidden-ID call (voice call) is received while Caller ID Display Request Service is activated, an
announcement is played requesting that the caller show the Caller ID (messages are not saved). This
service does not work when a videophone call is received.
•
You can manipulate Voice Mail Service from a touch tone general subscriber phone or payphone.
•
Even when Voice Mail Service is activated, videophone calls are not connected to the Voice Mail Service
Center. The calls are received as videophone calls.
