A login announcement is a voice mail message that automatically plays to each subscriber when the subscriber logs into his or her mailbox.
Login announcements have the following special characteristics. They:
Do not turn on message-waiting indicators. Therefore, do notuse login announcements for emergencies.
Are not put in subscribers' mailboxes. Subscribers cannot delete, save, replay, or forward login announcements. Thus, the only way to replay login announcements is to log in again.
Can be active only one at a time.
Are delivered to subscribers at remote locations as normal messages.
Do not activate outcalling.
Do not show up on TeleTypewriter (TTY) systems. Therefore, a hearing-impaired subscriber who uses only TTY for messaging does not see them. Send TTY subscribers a mail message from a TTY instead.
Go to all subscribers of the system. Therefore, be sure to record all login announcements in all languages used.
