Voice Mail and Phone Tips and Tricks

  • When listening to a message:

Press [1][1] to skip to the start of the message.
Press [3][3] to skip to the end of the message.
Pressing [1]  or [3] a single time, will rewind or advance a few seconds.
Pressing [3][3][7] will delete the message
Pressing [3][3][9] will save the message (it remains in your mailbox 
                                but is no longer marked as a new message)

  • When you call someone and get their voicemail greeting, press [#] to bypass the
    greeting and immediately leave a message.
  • The message waiting indicator light on your phone will be lit when you have unread/unplayed messages.  If a message is skipped, the light will remain lit.  In order for the light to turn off, the new message(s) must either be deleted (press 7) or saved (press 9) at the end of the message.  See the first tip above for a shortcut to delete or save the message.
