Voicemail Messages & Greetings

Voicemail Greeting Customization

If you want to change the default voicemail greeting on your mailbox.

Dial *97 from your phone and at the Voicemail menu select the option "0" (Voicemail options) and then the option "0" (Unavailable message) there you will be able to record your greeting, and to save it. Any greeting set this way will take precedence over any greeting options, including uploading a Recording or using the System Default greeting.

*Please note that you must change the Unavailable Message Recording option of your Voicemail account to the desired greeting for the changes to be reflected.
*Recording your greeting using your phone and the audible Voicemail system, will take precedence over any Recording uploaded or the System Default. 
 If you wish to use an uploaded Recording or the System Default greeting, please delete your recorded greeting first. 
*(Uploading is currently not available but if required please open a ticket and include your attachment to be added to your voicemail)

Voicemail Access Codes:

You can access your voicemail with any device/system connected directly with your account or subaccount to our VoIP network using the codes below:

  • *97 (Asterisk 97) is used to access directly the Mailbox associated to the account you are dialing from.
  • *98 (Asterisk 98) is used to access your Voicemail and choose one of your Mailbox accounts. (Will prompt for Mailbox ID [generally your DID] and Password)

If for any reason you do not have access to our VoIP network, you can check your Voicemail by just dialing your DID. Once the Voicemail system answers your call, press the asterisk key (*). You will be prompted for the Mailbox ID (or hear the mailbox automatically selected, depending on the POP server you are using) and Password, once logged in to your Voicemail, press 0 (zero) for options. You can also record your greeting from there by selecting option 4 (four). Please be aware this is considered a regular incoming call and will be charged according to your monthly DID plan.

Known Voicemail Issues or Frequent Questions

I Can No Longer Listen to My Voicemail on my Android Phone.

Our VoIP network uses a compressed WAV format for the voicemail messages (WAV49).

This helps server stability and lessen the bandwidth used by our VoIP network customers to download the file.

Please download another FREE Audio Player like Remote Wave and this will resolve this issue instantly. 
You will be given a choice of what application to use to listen to the file or you can make it your Default Audio Application.
If this doesn't work for you, you can always go back to uncompressed WAV format, in your Manage Mailbox options.

I Dial *97 But the System Still Asks for Mailbox Number

In order for *97 to work you have to make sure the device or softphone you are using is connecting to the servers with a SIP account associated with that Mailbox. 
So if you are connecting with your main account or a sub account, please see Assigning Your Voicemail to Your Account. 
If you are connecting with a phone not connected to our VoIP network service then for security reasons you will have to enter the mailbox number and password.
