Traditional Messaging Services
SkyTel traditional messaging services expand your communication options by
adding telephone access to your BlackBerry wireless email features. Contacts who
prefer to reach you by telephone can call to leave numeric, voice and text mes-
sages, depending on the options you’ve added to your SkyTel service.
Record your Personal Greeting(s)
Your personalized greeting lets your callers know immediately that they have
reached you. Change your greeting as often as you wish to provide callers with
your travel plans, business updates or other important information. The following
options are available.
1. Record a Subscriber Name -
to identify yourself so people are sure they’ve reached
you (e.g., “John Doe”). The name you record is heard inside an automated
SkyTel greeting.
2. Record a SkyTalk Voice Mail Greeting -
if you’ve added the SkyTalk option, for
anyone leaving you a SkyTalk voice message (e.g., “This is John Doe. You’ve
reached my SkyTalk mailbox. Please leave me a voice mail message. My
handheld will notify me immediately and I will call you back as soon as pos-
sible.”).
3. Record a Personal Access Greeting -
if you purchased a Personal Access Number, so
you can greet callers in your own voice and walk them through the steps to
leave you a message (e.g., “Hi, this is John Doe. Please follow the prompts to
either leave me a numeric or voice mail message or dictate a message to a
SkyTel operator.”).
