Introduction
Voice Mail Service
The Voice Mail Service allows subscribers (people registered on the PARTNER
MAIL system) to perform these tasks:
■
■
■
■
■
■
Listen to messages.
Create a message and send it to one or more subscribers.
Receive a message and forward it to one or more subscribers, with additional
comments, if desired.
Record their own personal greeting and name.
Assign their own password, which they can change at any time to ensure that
messages are kept confidential.
Designate a subscriber to serve as their Personal Operator. The PARTNER
MAIL system connects callers to a Personal Operator if they press [
0
] after a
personal greeting plays.
In addition, the Voice Mail Service allows the System Administrator to do the
following:
■
Create group lists to enable subscribers to send a single message to several
subscribers.
■
Use the Broadcast feature to send a single message to all subscribers.
■
Perform administration of the PARTNER MAIL system.
Subscriber's Mailbox
By default, the PARTNER MAIL system provides mailboxes for extensions 10
through 57. Users assigned to those extensions are PARTNER MAIL subscribers.
Except for the General Mailbox, a user’s extension number and mailbox number are
the same. When a caller leaves a message, the PARTNER MAIL system places the
message in the called subscriber’s mailbox, and turns ON the message light at the
subscriber’s system phone. Subscribers with the Outcalling feature can also have the
system call an off-site telephone, or beeper to inform the subscriber that a new
message has arrived in his or her mailbox. The Outcalling feature is described later
in this chapter.
