Voice mail? Have just had the above phones delivered, not a technophobe but having difficulty in setting up a voice mail for out of hours. Can anyone help?? cheers

Press and hold the 1 key. The phone should call your voice mail and you'll follow the prompts to set voice mail.

Or, you can call your own phone number and it should go to voicemail, where you can set it up.

If you continue having problems, contact Fido and request customer service re-set your voice mail. Then follow the directions above.

Hi,If your account is enabled for voice mail, you can receive voice messages in your Inbox and also in a text message on your mobile phone. Both the message in your Inbox and the text message will include a preview of the voice message in text.
How do I set up voice mail?

1. Go to https://outlook.com to sign in to your mailbox, go to Options > Voice Mail tab, and then click Set Up Now.
2. When you set up your voice mail:
* You'll register your mobile phone number.
* Text messaging is set up. You can choose to be notified in a text message that you have voice mail or have missed a call.
* Call forwarding is set up so that your mobile provider forwards calls you receive to your voice mail. So if you don't answer your phone, your phone is busy, or you're unreachable or unavailable, the caller will be sent to your voice mail. After your personal greeting is played, the caller can leave a voice message for you.
* You can test whether your voice mail has been set up correctly by dialing your mobile phone number from your mobile phone. This verifies that call forwarding is correctly set up with your mobile provider.

How do I change my voice mail after I've set it up?

After you've finished setting up voice mail, you may want to:

* Change the mobile provider's voice mail number so you can use the key your provider has reserved for accessing voice mail to access your voice mail. For details about how to do this, see Changing the Number You Call to Access Your Voice Mail.
* Create a contact on your mobile phone. For details about how to do this, see Create a Contact for Voice Mail.
* Assign a speed dial key to the contact you create for Outlook Web App voice mail. For details about how to do this, see Set Up Speed Dialing for Voice Mail.

What else do I need to know?

* The voice mail service is available only to certain customers in certain regions. If you can use voice mail, you'll see a welcome message in your Inbox telling you how to set up voice mail for your account.

Thanks for using fixya...

I believe you need to have a voice mail to receive calls, just set it up and have a prerecorded voice mail.
I have the same phone and it wouldnt let anyone call me tell the voice mail was set up

if you have an elite ipk system,time and date are changed at the attendant position.hit the feature key dial #

call your phone and once the voice mail picks up hit rhe pound symbol you will have to look up what your phones default voice mail code is but after that you can set a code and check you voicemail using any phone

You have to change the rings from the voice mail server. If you don't know your way around the server, its best to get a local NEC tech although it is fairly simple to navigate. Depends on your skill. Typical default password for the server is NEC

Since you asked this question in a 76xx forum, you have a TDA phone system. A TDA has timers that set where unanswered phone calls route to, one of the ports being voice mail/auto attendant.

There is no "simple" explanation for setting auto attendant. Each installation is different. You first of all, have to know which phone system and voice mail you have, then, know how the AA was set up.

For example, in a TVA voice mail, the setup is visual. you log in via the console and drag icons to the screen that maps the call routing. Since you start with custom menu 1, it sets your custom greetings 1,2,3, etc. In a TVS, you build custom service menus by hand.

While phone intercept is straightforward, trunk (line) is not. The voice mail knows whether the call is coming from a phone or a trunk and each has to be defined. In the case of an extension, you already know it goes to a voice mailbox and plays the greetings established for that person. In the case of a trunk, it may be a different greeting for each trunk for day, night, lunch, and break. Those parameters are all set in the TDA and TVx both.

I hope your head hasn't spun around several times, but the best idea is to sit with your voice mail administrator and phone system installer and get the picture of how the system was designed. You should get specific instructions of how the system handles calls and how you change greetings. You need to get the passwords and instructions for mailboxes 998 (message manager) and 999 (system manager) and a location of all greetings.

If you're into learning, a copy of the manuals for the voice mail and the windows software (if TVA) should have been delivered to your site with the system. In addition, the PT Programming manual (PTPM) can be requested from your dealer and it will allow you to make changes to your TDA.
Spending 5-10 hours with the manual some time will give you a better idea how the systems work.

Also, a spare PC with USB ports and a network card could get you remote maintenance from your dealer and maybe get you free or reduced cost maintenance and changes.

I know this is probably not the answer you're looking for, but I hope it helps.

Feature 14 comes to mind. It's the VM Transfer button for a Partner Voice Mail.

You set it up by dialing FEAT 00 press the button and dial FEAT 14. End programming by dialing FEAT 00.

To use it, when a call comes in press the VMXFR button and dial or press the person's DSS button.

call your voice mail (your own number) and it will tell you what to do

Sounds like you are trying to change a voice mail recording. Your Comdial phone can be used on several different Comdial phone systems and with several different voice mail systems that all program and set up differently. Do you have any manuals or instructions for your voice mail system? If not, you will need to find out which voice mail you have and try to locate manuals.

To change main greetings, etc.. you would need administrative rights to the voice mail. There will probably be a password, hopefully you know it or it's still at default.
