Setting Up Your Mailbox
When you access your mailbox for the first time, a voice will explain how to record a greeting and your name, and prompt you to change your temporary passcode.
Greetings
You will be asked to record one or more greetings that callers will hear when they call your mailbox. For example, you will record a greeting callers hear when your line is busy (e.g. "I'm currently on the phone and unable to take your call") and a different one when you're not there (e.g. "I'm currently unavailable").
Name
You will be prompted to record your name so that the system can:
-
Address you when you call in to the system (e.g. "Hello, Jane Smith")
-
Inform other users when a message comes from you (e.g. "4:54 p.m., from Jane Smith")
-
State your name to other users when they address messages to your mailbox (e.g. "Jane Smith")
Passcode
You will always be prompted for your passcode before accessing your mailbox. Your original passcode is your seven-digit telephone number. When you first access your mailbox, you will be prompted to change your passcode to a number with 4 to 10 digits.
Until you change it, your passcode will be your seven-digit telephone number. For security reasons, it is recommended that you change this passcode during set-up.
Once your mailbox is set up, you're ready to start using VoiceMail!
