Handset voicemail box (answering system)

Each handset has a private voicemail box that is different from the
general mailbox on the base. The voicemail messages for each
handset can be accessed from that handset or telephone base.

Answering system and voicemail

Your telephone has separate indicators for two different types of
voice messages: those left on its built-in answering system and those
left at your service provider's voicemail. Your telephone's built-in
answering system messages and voicemail messages are separate.
Each alerts you to new messages differently.
If you turn on the COVM feature (see COVM on
•
page 36 for more information) and the COVM icon
displays on the handset screen, 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.
• To listen to messages recorded on your digital answering system,
press the M.box softkey on the handset.
Some 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.
You can use your telephone answering system and voicemail
together by setting your built-in answering system to answer before
voicemail answers. To learn how to program your voicemail settings,
contact your telephone service provider. 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 by
following the instruction below.
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
