Voicemail

Follow the voice prompts to setup your mailbox. The default voicemail PIN is 242042. You must create a new 6-digit (minimum) PIN for your personal mailbox. Do not choose numbers in consecutive order. If you hear a prompt to enter an ID, enter your 10-digit phone number.

You can listen to all voicemail messages in Outlook using the default media player. Deleting the message from Outlook will also delete the message from your voicemail box.
