Different Ways to Access PhoneMail

To access your mailbox quickly, dial 7123 or 535-7123 from off campus.  As soon as it answers, press # or dial your extension plus #, then dial your password plus #.
     
To leave a message in someone's mailbox without ringing their extension (two options) 
      1) Dial 6123 (or 535-6123 from off campus), enter the person's mailbox number and press # #.
      2) From inside your own mailbox from the home state, press 1 to record and send a message.  Follow the prompts
     
To transfer a caller straight to another person's mailbox so they can leave a message.
      1) Press TRANSFER (or Flash * 7 from regular phone) plus 5123
      2) At the prompt, enter the person's mailbox number, press # # and release the call (hang up).
     
To manually forward all your calls to your PhoneMail box so your phone doesn't ring:
      1) From your own extension, get dial tone, press FORWARD (or # 9 from a regular phone) plus 5123 and hang up
      2) When your phone is manually forwarded, your extension light will flicker and/or you will hear "stutter" dial tone on your phone.
     
To cancel manually forwarding, without getting dial tone, press FORWARD, (or get dial tone, # # 9 from a regular phone).
