Answering system settings
Answering system and voicemail
Your telephone has separate indicators for two different types
of voice messages: those left on its built-in digital answering
system and those left with your telephone service provider’s
voicemail (fees may apply). Your telephone’s built-in digital
answering system messages and voicemail messages are
separate. Each alerts you to new messages differently.
If
and
New voicemail
display on the handset and
the telephone base, your telephone service provider
is indicating that it has new voicemail for you. To listen to your voicemail, you
typically dial an access number provided by your telephone service provider,
followed by a security code or PIN.
Some telephone service providers bundle or combine multiple services like
voicemail and call waiting, so you may not be aware that you have voicemail. To
check what services you have and how to access them, contact your telephone
service provider.
To use your voicemail service rather than your answering system, turn off your
answering system. To use your answering system rather than your voicemail
service, contact your telephone service provider to deactivate your voicemail
service. You can also use your telephone answering system and voicemail
together by setting your built-in answering system to answer before voicemail
answers as described below. To learn how to program your voicemail settings,
contact your telephone service provider. Then, if you are on a call, or if the
answering system is busy recording a message and you receive another call,
the second caller can leave a voicemail message.
Set your answering system to answer calls at least two rings earlier than your
voicemail is set to answer. For example, if your voicemail answers after six rings,
set your answering system to answer after four rings. Some voicemail providers
may program the delay before answering calls in seconds instead of rings. In
this case, allow six seconds per ring when determining the appropriate setting.
