Retrieving messages from an off-premises location
You can pick up messages when away from the office or from an analog station. Since the display is not
available to you, message handling will operate slightly differently.
To retrieve a message from a remote location:
1. Dial into the system.
2. When the operator or another user answers your call, have them transfer you by pressing
VOICE MAIL and hanging up. You will hear the mailbox greeting. Press 8 # to hear the messages.
3. If no one answers and the mailbox greeting plays, press 8 # to hear the messages.
4. If required, enter your password.
5. The ESI phone system will announce the number of new and old messages, and will start
playback of messages starting with the oldest new message and continue until all messages and
recordings have played or you press
