| Scan messages quickly | You can automatically play all of your messages by pressing just two buttons. Use Activity Menu option 7. Scanning is extra useful with a car phone. |
| Use playback controls | When listening to messages, you have controls for loudness, speed, stepping back and forth, pausing, and repeating messages. See your Quick Reference, Portable Guide, or Wallet Card. |
| Delete old messages | Your mailbox has limited space. When it's getting full, the system tells you. Delete messages or greetings you don't need. |
| Record a personal greeting | Replace the automatic system greeting with your personal
hello. Use Activity Menu option 3. Tell callers they can press 1 to
skip your greeting and press * H or * 4 for help.
Change your greeting everyday to match your daily schedule and record multiple greetings that play according to call type. |
| When away make your mailbox bigger OR turn your mailbox off | When you're gone on vacation, ask your administrator to temporarily make your mailbox bigger -- more callers can leave messages. Also, change your greeting to tell callers who else to call. OR, turn off your mailbox by pressing 5 at the Activity Menu, then pressing 7, "Administer Call Answer Options." |
| Answer messages from your mailbox | Answer a message sent by another user immediately after listening to it, either by pressing 1 0 to call the person or by pressing 1 7 or 1 9 to send a return voice mail message. |
| Forward messages | You can forward a message to another user or a list of users immediately after listening to it. Press 1 2 to do this. After you forward it, you return to the original place in your mailbox. To forward to a mailing list, press * 5 or * L to specify the list's address. |
