access number provided by your telephone service provider, followed by a security

user's manual for a full description of the voicemail indicators.
Some service providers bundle or combine multiple services like voicemail and call

have and how to access them, contact your telephone service provider.
You can use the telephone answering system and voicemail together by setting your

answering system and voicemail together in the online user's manual for instructions.
