Finding Messages by Phone

---

As you listen to your saved messages by phone, you can use Go-to-Message to find a message by the message number. You can also use Go-to-Message to skip back to the previous message and go to the next message.

This section contains two procedures. Do the first procedure, "To Find Messages by Using Go-to-Message (Standard Conversation Style)," to find messages when Cisco Unity is set up to play the standard conversation. Do the second procedure, "To Find Messages by Using Go-to-Message (Optional Conversation 1 Style)," when Cisco Unity is set up to play Optional Conversation 1.

Keypad mappings for other conversation styles are documented in the "Cisco Unity Phone Menus and Shortcuts" chapter. Ask your Cisco Unity administrator which conversation style you are set up to use.
