You can access your personal voice messages directly from your phone. But your administrator must set up your voicemail account, and may also set up your phone to access the voicemail system.

If your administrator has enabled the Messages softkey on your phone, you can use the softkey to access the voicemail system.

When you aren’t at your desk, you can call your voicemail system to access your voicemail. Your administrator can give you the voicemail system phone number.

Because each voicemail system is different, we can't tell you how to use your voicemail system. For information about your voicemail commands, see the voicemail system user documentation or contact your administrator.

To find out if you have new voicemail messages, look for one of these signs:

• The light strip on your handset is solid red.

• The number of missed calls and voicemail messages is displayed on your screen. If you have more than 99 new messages, a plus (+) sign is displayed.

• An exclamation mark (!) indicates urgent voicemail messages.
