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
/PLAY/STOP
on the telephone base flashes,
XX
new messages
displays on the handsets and telephone
base, there are new messages in the built-in answering system.
To listen to the messages recorded on your digital answering
system, press
/PLAY
on the telephone base (see page 67).
To listen to messages with a handset, press
MENU
twice (see
page 67).
If and
New voicemail
display on the handsets and
the telephone base, your telephone service provider is
indicating that it has new voicemail for you. To listen to your
voicemail, press and hold
1
on your handset/telephone
base. See
Voicemail number
on page 26 to
set your voicemail number.
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.
