voice mail

VoiceMail turns your touchtone phone into the most complete telephone answering system available today. Messages can be retrieved from your home phone or from any phone, anywhere, 24 hours a day. Three levels of VoiceMail are available to fit your needs:

Level 1 - Basic VoiceMail Service
With Level 1 VoiceMail all you need to get started is a touchtone phone. You can receive up to 20 personal messages and the system will store your messages for 7 days. Each message you receive can be kept to two minutes long, and you will be told the date and time that each message was received.

Level 2 - Voice Messaging
With Level 2, for just 50 cents more you get all the Level 1 features with two nice enhancements...you can send messages to other VoiceMail subscribers, and you can receive messages while you're on the phone.

Level 3 - Enhanced Voice Messaging
This level has it all. Not only do you get the benefits of Level 1 and Level 2, you also get more features like 30 total messages that can be stored for up to 14 days. The system can also call your pager to let you know you have messages. The Level 3 VoiceMail box adds a full 60 second greeting length. Other features are group messaging, where you can record one message and send it to a list of people, or create separate mailboxes for members in your household or for employees at your business.
