Voice Mail Systems
Your Voice Mail system permits callers to leave verbal messages for system
users or gain access to the back-up position in an emergency as well as create
and distribute voice messages among system users.
The Voice Mail system, through proper administration, can help you reduce the
risk of unauthorized persons gaining access to the network. However, phone
numbers and authorization codes can be compromised when overheard in a
public location, are lost through theft of a wallet or purse containing access
information, or through carelessness (writing codes on a piece of paper and
improperly discarding them). Additionally, hackers may use a computer to dial
an access code and then publish the information to other hackers. Substantial
charges can accumulate quickly. It is your responsibility to take appropriate
steps to implement the features properly, evaluate and administer the various
restriction levels, protect and carefully distribute access codes.
Under applicable tariffs, you will be responsible for payment of toll charges.
AT&T cannot be responsible for such charges and will not make any allowance
or give any credit resulting from unauthorized access.

please observe the following procedures:
