Help finding out what my general mailbox number

I was out yesterday and my boss tried to log in to my phone to retrieve messages and locked me out. I am not sure how to find out what the general mailbox extension is to go in and reset the password. Is there a feature of some kind that will tell you what extension it is?

Ok, first of all the general Mailbox is 100 for 3 digit extensions or 10 of 2 digit extensions.

How to Change a Mailbox Password
1. To access the voice mail system press "Feature".
2. Press "983".
3. When you see "Log:" enter "120000" for 2 digit extension numbers, enter "1020000" for 3 digit extension numbers.
4. Press "OK".
5. Press "MBOX".
6. Press "CHNG".
7. Enter the mailbox number you wish to reset.
8. Press "Reset".
9. Press "Rls" to exit (orange button to the right of the number buttons).

Default password is "0000".

Why am I not receiving General Mailbox voicemails?

Hi,

Please make sure that the customer is calling the correct number that you think that they're calling. Then, call this number yourself and leave a message before going to check the message again. If you can't find your message, please call the business' phone company and ask them if there are multiple mailboxes linked to your business phone number. If so, they can provide access to the other mailbox for you.

Thank you.

Nortel phone - VM box locked contact admin - tried solutions & no luck

Hi Lyndsay,

Have you tried feature 985, and then press 9, and enter the passed resetsmppwd? That should reset the login on feature 983 to 1020000 for three digit extensions, or 102000 for two digit extensions. Once you get into there, you can reset the mailbox password for the general delivery mailbox. Depending on your system, even though the general delivery mailbox might be on extension 363, the mailbox number is likely to be 100.

Can't access the General Delivery Mailbox

To retrieve message from mailbox behind the phone:
Feature 981
Enter your password as asked

To retrieve message from mailbox that is not behind the phone:
Feature 981
Press OTHER
Log = Your ext # and password together
Press OK

Example if mailbox 100 and password 1234 then your log = 1001234

Example if mailbox 221 and password 5678 then your log = 2215678

My MBOX is locked on my T7316E Nortel phone. Also, trying to retrieve messages from home I somehow changed the password and I don't know what it is.

Feature 983 log in is 120000 (if 2 digit extension, 1020000 if 3 digit, 10020000 if 4 digit extensions)
Select Mbox, enter that locked extensions mail box number, You will see password RESET. Select RESET. Release out. This will reset that mail box password to 0000. Use feature 981 on that phone and enter the new default password of 0000. you will then be prompted to change the password.


Feature 985 will show you your mailbox extension

Hello i have a Panasonic KX-T7420 phone. how do i listen to the messages? thanks

Which ones? A Pana brand VM has an access code of 165. Your personal messages are in your box, the system messages (General Delivery Mailbox) are in mailbox 998. When you dial 165, you're automatically in your box. Mailbox 998 has a special access code that you dial and use to retrieve messages. We try to prevent messages from being dropped into the GDM, but it happens.

My phone is Norstar M7324. I can't get voicemails. I have customers called and left voicemails but I can't receive them. I use Feature 981 and it tells me no messages everytime. Any advise? Thanks.

Maybe the callers are leaving messages in the General Delivery mailbox? From your phone, dial Feature 981, when it prompts you for a password, press the button under "OTHR", and you will be prompted for the log. (The log is the mailbox and password combination for a mailbox not assigned to your phone.) If you use 2-digit extensions, the General Delivery mailbox is #10, for 3-digit extensions, the mailbox number is #100, and etc. The default General Delivery mailbox password is "0000". So, using 2-digit ext's, the log would be 100000, then press # or OK and you can retrieve the messages. Write back if you need more help.

We have a norstar m7310 and the mailbox is locked due to too many failed password attempts. I did log into the System administration and reset the password to that mailbox and it is still locked. How do I...

When you reset the password, it goes back to the default of "0000". When you try to log into that mailbox the next time, it will prompt you to change the password. Hope this helps!

T7208 nortel network general voicemail locked

Generally, you dial feature 981 to get in, then extension number and password. If you have no new messages it will say that, then give you the option to review old messages. To delete a message you press 76. If that doesn't work, login to your mailbox, press 8* then 6 to get to "go to message" then press the message number and #. If you have an on-site administrator, they can delete your mailbox as well, otherwise you will have to call your tech help service and have them erase it remotely.
