How Do I Use Your Calling Features?

Don’t miss those important calls. If you are on the phone when someone attempts to call you or there is no answer, the Voice Mail feature will transfer the caller to your Voice Mailbox. They will then be able to leave a message for you. Your voice mail is accessible from any telephone.

Voicemail-to-email is a service that sends your voicemail messages to your email inbox. You will receive an immediate email notification when a voicemail message has been left in your Voicemail box. 

Who’s calling? Do I really want to answer the phone? With Call Display, the name and phone number of the person calling are displayed. You can then decide if you would like to take the call.
