Answering system and voicemail
Your telephone has separate indicators for two different types of
voice messages: those left on its built-in digital answering system and
those left with your telephone service provider’s voicemail (fees may
apply). Your telephone’s built-in digital answering system messages
and voicemail messages are separate. Each alerts you to new
messages differently.
When there are new answering system messages,
the handset displays XX New messages and the
message window on the telephone base flashes.
To listen to the messages recorded on your digital
answering system, press MENU twice on a handset,
or press /PLAY on the telephone base.
If and New voicemail display on the handset, your
telephone service provider is indicating that it has
new voicemail for you. To listen to your voicemail,
press and hold 1 on your handset. See Voicemail
number on page 32 to set your voicemail number.
Some telephone service providers bundle or combine multiple services
like voicemail and call waiting, so you may not be aware that you have
voicemail. To check what services you have and how to access them,
contact your telephone service provider.
To use your voicemail service rather than your answering system,
turn off your answering system. To use your answering system rather
than your voicemail service, contact your telephone service provider to
deactivate your voicemail service.
