Using your built-in
answering system and
voicemail service
You can use your answering system and
voicemail service together by setting
your answering system to answer before
voicemail service answers as described
below. 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.
Set your answering system to answer
calls at least two rings earlier than
your voicemail service is set to answer.
For example, if your voicemail service
answers after six rings, set your
answering system to answer after four
rings. Some voicemail service 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.
