Calling a Message Center Mailbox
Your System Administrator usually sets up a Message Center Mailbox for callers who dial the Automated
Attendant from a rotary dial phone. A Message Center Mailbox is a “catch-all” type of mailbox that lets rotary
dial callers leave a message without dialing any codes. At some point in the day, someone in your company
must call the Message Center Mailbox, listen to the messages, then forward them to the appropriate
mailboxes (see
Listening to Messages and Using the Listening Options).
There are four features in this guide not applicable to a Message Center Mailbox; record and send a
message (by pressing R S), record a reply (by pressing R E), record a Mailbox Greeting (by pressing G),
record and send a Future Delivery Message (by pressing F D).
The Voice Mail system plays the same set of prompts that it plays for a Subscriber Mailbox.

Calling a Future Delivery Mailbox
A Future Delivery Mailbox stores Future Delivery Messages (for information on Future Delivery Messages,
see page 20). The Voice Mail system sends a Future Delivery Message to other mailboxes on the
programmed date and time for delivery.
If necessary, you can call the Future Delivery Mailbox to listen to and erase a Future Delivery Message before
the Voice Mail system sends it. You can also access all the other listening options except: record a reply (by
pressing R E), have the message forwarded (by pressing M F), and make a call to the message sender (by
pressing M C). Besides listening to the Future Delivery Message, the only other feature you can access after
calling a Future Delivery mailbox is Getting the Time and Date.
