Voice Mail First Time Setup

To set up your Basic or Enhanced Voice Mail for the first time:

  1. Dial your home telephone number.
  2. Press # when you hear the voice mail greeting.
  3. Enter your temporary pass code (1234). You will now be asked to replace your temporary pass code with your own private pass code. Pass codes can be 4–10 digits long. For security reasons, we strongly advise you to change your pass code at this time.
  4. Follow the tutorial to navigate through your voice mail setup. If you ordered an Enhanced Mailbox with Extension Mailboxes, please read the setup instructions for extension mailboxes before you record your main (host) message.
    Result: You are now ready to receive and use your voice mail.
Important: You must complete the entire setup process for your personalized features to take effect. If you hang up before the process is complete, you will have to complete the setup process again.
