CALLING FEATURES

VOICEMAIL AND MESSAGE RETRIEVAL

Voicemail is just like a virtual answering machine, and it comes 
free with your Wireless Home Phone Base service. When you 
miss a call or choose not to answer, calls are sent to your 
voicemail the same way they would be sent to your answering 
machine. Follow the steps below to set-up and use your voicemail.

VOICEMAIL SET-UP

Press 1

 on any home phone connected to the Wireless  

Home Phone Base and wait 4 seconds to connect to your 
Consumer Cellular voicemail. 

Simply follow the voice prompts to complete set-up. 

To enable remote voicemail retrieval and for added security,  
be sure to create a password during set-up.

MESSAGE WAITING

There are two indicators to let you know that you have received 
a new voicemail message.

The 

Voicemail icon

 on the Wireless Home Phone Base (shown 

below) will blink when a new voicemail message is waiting.

You will also hear an intermittent dial tone on any connected 
phone handset before placing a call if any new voicemail 
messages are waiting.

THREE-WAY CALLING

While on an existing call, press the 

Flash (Phone/Talk) key

 on 

your phone to put the first party on hold. When you hear a dial 
tone, dial the second party’s number (wait for up to 4 seconds).

When the second party answers, press the 

Flash (Phone/Talk) 

key 

again to complete the three-way connection. 

If the second party does not answer, press the 

Flash (Phone/

Talk) key

 to end the connection and return to the first party.

Voicemail icon

If your phone does not have a Flash (Phone/Talk)
key, use the off-hook mechanism supported by your
phone instead.
