Receiving Voice Mail

If you are unavailable to take a call, 3CX Phone System can record a message from the caller. These messages can be heard in the following ways:
· You can have the voice mail message emailed to you as a WAV attachment which can be played by Windows media player.
· You can have a notification message emailed to you so that you can dial the voice mail system and listen to the voice mail by phone.
· You can retrieve the voice mail by dialing 999 (default voice mail extension)
