How to check the Voicemail of a different number

As default, unanswered calls to the main number of a client will go to the voicemail of the main number. To access the voicemail of the main number, or the voicemail of any other number for that client, please see the steps here:

  1. To check voicemail for a different number (for example, the main number) from your phone, press the Envelope key, or dial 1571 on the keypad.

  2. Next, DO NOT enter your PIN. This will take you to the voicemail of that handset. Instead of entering your PIN, press the * key.

  3. You will then be prompted to enter 'the extension of the mailbox you wish to enter', followed by the corresponding PIN. This information will be available on Telephone Manager on Connect. 

  4. Next press 1, to enter into the voicemail menu.
