Voice Mail Service

Using Voice Mail
service
This unit is compatible with Voice Mail
services offered by your landline service
provider and A. After you subscribe to
these services, the Voice Mail system of
your service provider will answer calls
for you when you are unavailable to
answer the phone or when your line is
busy. Messages are recorded by your
Voice Mail service provider, not your
telephone.
L k Please contact your landline
service provider for details.
L l Please visit www.joip.com or
contact the A service provider for
details.
Important:
L To use the Voice Mail service rather
than the unit's answering system, turn
off the answering system (page 58).

Voice Mail (VM) tone detection
k
Your landline service provider sends
special signals (sometimes called "Voice
Mail tones" or "stutter tones") to the unit
to let you know you have new Voice Mail
messages. If you hear a series of dial
tones followed by a continuous dial tone
after you press {TEL}, you have new
Voice Mail messages. Minutes after you
hang up a call or after the phone stops
ringing, your unit will check the phone
line to see if new Voice Mail messages
have been recorded.
Turn this feature off when:
– you do not subscribe to Voice Mail
service.
– your landline service provider does
not send Voice Mail tones.
– your phone is connected to a PBX.
If you are not sure which setting is
required, consult your landline service
provider.
