VoIP - Voicemail
Accessing This Feature
Access is via the Control Pages as follows:
- Log in to the Control Pages with your xxx@a login
- Click on the Number you want to configure
- Click the 'Incoming Tab'
The voicemail service we offer is very simple. To use it you need to access the control pages for your number and set up a few things.
Once set up, any calls to your number that pass the no answer time will get a message and a recording is made. The recording is emailed to you. If you leave the email box empty then the call is ended after playing the message, see: [VoIP_-_Message_Only]
Recording the greeting
If you have a sip phone set up for the number you can call 1571 from the phone and change your outgoing message if you like.
- Calls after a certain time can be sent to voicemail.
- Record your greeting by calling 1571 from the SIP phone registered to the number
- If you supply the same email address for call recordings as well as voicemail, you are sent one "Recording" email as opposed to a "Voicemail". Keep the email addresses different if you wish to be sent emails with "Voicemail" in the subject.
The recording can be sent to you as a wav, mp3, flacc or ogg file, you can select the format on the Control Pages. The recording will also include your 'recorded greeting' as well as the callers message.
