Use the 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 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
answering calls in seconds instead of
rings. In this case, allow six seconds per
ring when determining the appropriate
setting.
