Voice mail Help & Instructions

The voice mailbox provides a distinctive, interrupted dial tone on your telephone when one or more unplayed messages are waiting in the mailbox. If your phone is equipped with a Message Waiting Indicator, it will be lit. Once all messages are retrieved, the dial tone returns to normal. Note that your computer modem, and other similar communications equipment, may not recognize the alternate dial tone. To turn off the interrupted tone, press *11 on your touch tone phone.
