Accessing voicemail from a local telephone

Your desktop telephone might have a Message Waiting Indicator (MWI) in the form of a light or an LED display, which indicates that this phone's mailbox has new messages waiting.

To access your voicemail from a telephone connected to your internal telephone system:

1. Press the voicemail key, if your phone includes one, or dial the voicemail access number. Your method of access depends upon your specific telephone model.
2. Enter your mailbox number and password, as required. If you are accessing your voicemail for the first time, you must change your password.

   Important

   When the Common User Mailbox Password feature is enabled, user must specify the user ID after the prompt to enter the mailbox number. After the mailbox password prompt, the user must specify the user password.
