How to retrieve messages from outside the home.

Hi,

Nortel will have a phone number that you can dial from any other phone to retrieve your messages.

How to retrieve phone messages when away from home

Since you neglected to specify the model of your Uniden 5.8GHz cordless system I can only suggest you select it from the list beginning here to download a copy of the manual.

I have a different model but the default code for mine is 123.
To change the code from the machine, I have to press the STOP/SET button and hold it and wait for prompts.

Here's the manual:
29869GE2 Digital Answering Machine
You will need to set a security code. When you're away you can call your home phone and enter the code to retrieve your messages. Hope this helps.

Since you neglected to specify the model of your Uniden DECT 6.0 system I can only suggest you select it from the list beginning here to download a copy of the manual.

When you first installed your GE Digital Messaging System, you heard the code that was auto set for it. Once you are out and away from home, phone home and during the answering machine promp press # and then the promps will ask you for your 'pass word [code]. Please be careful as messages deleted by you, you may not beable to retrieve them. This machine doesn't run by cassette tapes.

you have to set the answering machine to accept remote access. Then anytime when you call home and the message is playing you can enter the machines' remote access number to retrieve your messages.
