The voicemail greeting on the Inter-Tel ECX 2000 may still be the old message after changing it because the system retains voicemail greetings and messages after a new system program is flashed. To ensure the new greeting is applied, the system and voicemail may need sufficient time to reset properly. Additionally, the updated greeting should be correctly stored and retrieved using the VM Backup \ Restore Manager in the System drop-down menu of the Maintenance and Programming Software application.
