Press FEATURE (above the HOLD key on old sets or the Nortel Symbol on the new sets)
Then press 981 on the dial pad.

If states "Inactive when done then your voice mail system is down or the feature code was changed, either way if you do have voice mail then call your tech in to check the system right away.

SOURCE: Feature 981 is displayed as an inactive feature and not available

Try powering off the voicemail system and and then power it on again. I've had it happen many times that after a power failure they just don't boot up correctly.

SOURCE: I have M7310 phones with the complete system I can

If none of the voice mail feature codes work (feature 980-989) then the voice mail system is either not working or isn't recognized by the telephone system.Go to your communications closet and check to see if theres a power light on in the voicemail.If not then you might want to call in your tele system service provider.

Messaging is inactive on all lines after push functions button and enter 981
Hi. Inactive feature often means that there's a problem with your connection to the call pilot. Do you have lights on your call pilot? Did you assign a mailbox to the extension you're working on? Did you remember to connect the call pilot to a station port?

I'm locked out of the voicemail feature and I can't find a way of activating a new password to pick up messages. It's a Nortel T7208 system. Has anyone any ideas?
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 the extension of the phone you are using.

F 981
If none of your voicemail feature codes(f980-f989) are active, then that means that the system doesn't recognize any nortel voicemail on the system.Which means that a) your system has a non-nortel voicemail system attached to it, b) theres no voicemail attached to the system at all or c) the voicemail is no longer functioning.

Sounds like a DID line button has taken place of your mailbox button. You can access your viocemail by pressing feature 981. You can program a MBX button by pressing feature *3, press the button you want to be tha new MBX button, and entering feature 981.
