handset, your telephone service provider is
indicating that it has new voicemail for you.
To listen to your voicemail, press and hold
your handset. 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
machine, turn off your answering machine. To use your
answering machine rather than your voicemail service,
contact your telephone service provider to deactivate
your voicemail service.
Using the answering machine and voicemail together
You can also use your telephone answering machine and
voicemail together by setting your built-in answering
machine 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 machine is busy
recording a message and you receive another call, the
second caller can leave a voicemail message.
Set your answering machine 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 machine 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.
