Step 3: You will then hear a recording that asks you to, “Please enter your pass code”.  Your temporary pass code is: 1,2,3,4.  After entering your temporary pass code, you will hear “Welcome to your voice mail center”.

This recording will go on to tell you that you can set up a new pass code, record a greeting, and record your name.  After you set up your new pass code, greeting, and recorded your name, you will hear, “You have just set up your mail box”. 

retrieving messages

When you lift your telephone handset and hear a ‘stuttered or broken’ dial tone you will know that someone has left a message in your voice mailbox.  You can retrieve your messages from any touch tone phone.

To get your messages:  

Step 1:  Dial 884-6500 to access the voice mail system.  You will hear a recording that says, “Welcome to the message center.  Please enter a mail box number or wait.”

Step 2: Dial your voice mail (telephone) number.  You will hear the greeting that you recorded.  Before the end of this greeting, press the “*” button.  At this time you will hear your name as you recorded it in the set-up of your voice mail.

Step 3: You will hear a recording asking you to enter your pass code.  Enter your pass code.  You are now in your mail box and the system will instruct you how to play, give, keep or discard your messages.
