Calling an Announcement Mailbox
An Announcement Mailbox is an “information only” type of mailbox. Typical Announcement messages
include monthly sales figures, a weekly business schedule, daily interest rates, insurance claim information,
movie schedule, etc. You can call an Announcement Mailbox from outside the company and listen to the
Announcement message.

Calling a Guest Mailbox
A Guest Mailbox is a mailbox that your System Administrator can reserve for an outside party, perhaps a
vendor you frequently do business with. You can record messages for the Guest Mailbox and the Guest can
retrieve them through the Auto Attendant or from an inside extension.
Your System Administrator can program a Guest Mailbox in one of two ways: with access to all features in
this guide or with access to all features except; record and send a message and forward a message. When a
Guest calls his Guest Mailbox, he will hear exactly what you hear when you call your Subscriber Mailbox.
