User Tutorial
Your initial passcode is the same as your mailbox number. If you are mailbox 2671, then your initial passcode is 2671. The first time you enter your mailbox, the system will talk you through your first voicemail session, explaining how to set up your mailbox with your personalized greeting, name and passcode. Follow the instructions above to access your mailbox.
Before beginning the tutorial, think of a passcode and greeting you want your callers to hear. Please note: do not make your passcode the same as your mailbox number. The system will continue to run you through the tutorial as long as your mailbox number and passcode are the same.
Mailbox Capacity & Message Aging
Each folder in your voicemail box will hold up to 15 messages, each of which can be up to 3 minutes in length. Unplayed messages are retained in your box for 2 weeks before being automatically purged. Played messages are retained for 4 weeks. Messages CANNOT be recovered after they have been deleted.
Your Voicemail Passcode
When you go through the tutorial, you will be prompted to enter a 4 to 10 digit passcode. Think of this passcode as being similar to your password on the computer system.
