MWI and message status

Voice messages appear as unread until they are accessed over the phone or are marked as read in your email client. The message waiting indicator (MWI) light on your desk phone remains switched on as long as one or more voice messages in your Messaging Inbox are marked as Unread. The MWI light is turned off when all voice messages in your Inbox are marked as Read.

  • If you skip a message by pressing # before ten seconds of message playback has elapsed, the message remains marked as Unread and the MWI lamp remains switched on.

  • If you skip a message by pressing # after ten seconds of message playback has elapsed, the message is marked as Read.

  • From Messaging 6.1 Service Pack 1 onwards, if you save a message, it is marked as Read even if the message played back for less than ten seconds.
