How It Works

The voicemail system is menu driven. Listen to the voice prompts and then press the keys on your phone to select which option you would like.

First Time Sign-in

The first time you access your Voicemail, you will be asked to set up your mailbox by creating a PIN, record your name and greeting. You can only initialize your Voicemail using your primary phone. At this time you will be required to create your own 6 to 20 digit PIN. The PIN number has restrictions as follows:

  1. Dial *99 (listen to voice prompts).
  2. Must create PIN.
    1. PIN code must be between 6 and 20 digits.
    2. PIN code must not have a single digit repeated more than 2 times in a row.
    3. PIN code must not be in numeric sequence, such as 1234.
    4. PIN code must not include part of your telephone number.
  3. Record your recorded name.
  4. Record your greeting.
