Using Voicemail

Changing Your Greeting

By default the system plays a general greeting to callers who are directed to your mailbox. That general greeting states your extension number, or name if you have recorded one, and asks the caller to leave a message after the tone. You can override the default greeting by recording your own personal greeting.

Callers can skip your greeting by pressing 1. Instead they will hear the tone and can leave their message immediately. This does not work if your greeting is set to play as a continuous loop.
