AltiGen Voice Mail Features

The AltiGen Voice Mail System is a sophisticated message management
system that provides the calling and the called parties with enhanced
communication features. It allows greater accessibility, faster reply time
between parties, and reduces the frustration of telephone tag.

specific AltiGen Voice Mail menu without having to login to AltiGen
