Voice mail takes your telephone messages whether you are unavailable to answer or on another telephone call. Follow the instructional voice prompts to personalize your greeting and establish a PIN (Personal Identification Number) for security purposes. A standard greeting is used until your personalized greeting is established. Next comes managing your voice mail messages. Voice mail can be easily accessed from the phone line the voice mail is on or from another phone line. Voice prompts tell you if you have no messages, new messages, or saved messages. Each message announces time and date and then can be saved, erased, or forwarded to another Griswold Communications voice mail subscriber. Once you become familiar with the prompts you efficiently manage your voice mail messages.
Your voice mail box is on all of the time. With this system if you do not answer the phone, based on a preset time, it will automatically send the calling party to your voice mail box. If you are on the phone when someone attempts to call you, the caller will be sent to your voice mail. If you have call waiting and you do not answer the second call, it will be transferred over to voice mail also.
You will know you have new messages if your phone has a message waiting indicator that is flashing and/or when the telephone handset is picked up you hear stutter dial tone. You can also be notified of new messages via text, call or email notification. As well, Missed Call notification can be set up. When you access your mailbox, you hear how many messages are waiting for you.
