Getting Started

Before using Home Voice Mail for the first time, take a few minutes to get set up. Follow the steps below and listen carefully to the recorded instructions.

1. Dial the Verizon Home Voice

Mail system number. Wait for the system to answer.

2. Depending on where you are ...

at home

�

Enter your starter passcode.

�

±

. Now go to Step 3.

– or –

away from home

�

±

.

�

Enter your mailbox number, which is the same as your home telephone number.

�

Enter your starter passcode.

�

±

. Now go to Step 3.

3. Listen carefully to the recorded instructions. They will guide you through setting up your mailbox

— the place where your messages, greetings and passcode are stored and where all Home Voice Mail activities take place.

Note: Your starter passcode is either your 7-digit telephone number or the last four digits of your telephone number, depending on your area. Please refer to your welcome letter.

You will:

�

Create your own 4-10 digit passcode.

It is important that you choose a passcode that’s easy for you to remember but hard for others to guess. Do not use any portion of your telephone number, one digit repeated (for example, 4444), or a sequence of digits (for example,

1234 or 9876). Memorize your passcode or write it down.

�

Record the greeting your callers will hear.

�

Record your name as a label for your mailbox.

�

For Multiple Mailbox, there are a few additional steps required to set up this feature. OnePoint

Voice Mail also includes this option. Please refer to “Setting Up a Multiple Mailbox” section of this guide. This feature is not available in all areas.

The next time you access your mailbox, you can record a special busy greeting* that your callers will hear when your line is busy.

If you do not record a busy greeting, callers will always hear your regular greeting.

*Busy greeting is available only with OnePoint Voice Mail where facilities exist.

Managing Your

Messages

With Home Voice Mail, you will be able to access your mailbox and hear your messages — even when you are away from home. All you need is a Touch-

Tone telephone. A recorded voice will take you through the steps.

�

You’ll know you have messages when you hear an interrupted dial

2 tone on your home phone. The indicator will remain until you have saved or deleted all messages.

You can still make calls while the indicator is on.

�

Follow the easy-to-use recorded instructions to access and hear your messages.

�

There is no need to wait until the end of a voice prompt. Once a prompt starts, you can enter a selection at any time.

�

Message capacity and storage for messages varies by mailbox type. Refer to the table in the front of this user guide for your mailbox parameters. Once the message limit has been reached, you cannot receive new messages until you erase some of your stored messages.

To protect the security of your mailbox, do not use any part of your telephone number, a repeated digit (444444), or sequential numbers (34567). If you ever forget your passcode, you can reset it at verizon.com or you can call

Verizon Repair.

How to Change Your Personal

Greeting:

Your personal greeting is heard by callers when you are unavailable. You can record your own greeting or use the automated system greeting which will identify your mailbox by inserting your recorded name or telephone number in the recording.

Multiple Mailbox

(Additional charge applies and activation required, except included in OnePoint Voice Mail at no charge.)

Multiple Mailbox is great for families with teenagers, for households with roommates and for people who work at home. With Multiple Mailbox, up to eight* additional members of your household can receive private messages in their own personal mailbox.

5

Each household member has his/her own passcode and greeting. There’s no wading through other people’s messages to get to yours. Even better, your messages are kept private for you until you are ready to review them.

*In some areas, only three mailbox extensions are available.

The “host” is the person who sets up the Multiple Mailbox and records the initial greeting. For example:

“You have reach the Smiths.” The system will give instructions for reaching the mailboxes you have created using the recorded name for each mailbox:

�

“If you want [Mary], press 1.”

�

“If you want [Justin], press 2.”

�

“If you want [Family mailbox], just

wait for the tone.”

To leave a message, the caller will press the appropriate number, hear that person’s personal greeting and leave a message for that person.

If you’ve recorded a busy greeting

(where available), or selected the standard busy greeting, callers will hear this greeting when the line is busy.

Callers may then press the appropriate number to reach a selected mailbox and hear the household member’s personal greeting.

Setting up a Multiple Mailbox:

1. At the Main Menu: press

‹‹

to set up or erase a multiple mailbox.

2. Press an extension number to set up the corresponding mailbox for a household member.

3. The system automatically provides a passcode for each mailbox.

Write it down to pass it on to the appropriate household member, or, if you wish, choose another. You can press or

¤

⁄

to keep the Passcode

to change the Passcode.

Passcode for:

Household member 1 _______________

Household member 2 _______________

Household member 3 _______________

Household member 4* _______________

Household member 5* _______________

Household member 6* _______________

Household member 7* _______________

Household member 8* _______________

*In some areas, only three mailbox extensions are available.

You will be asked to record a name and greeting for each mailbox. This name will be used by the system to instruct callers how to reach each mailbox. Each person, using his or her own passcode, can retrieve, save and erase only his or her own messages.

Each person can also change his or her recorded name, greeting or passcode.

Note: If an extension user forgets his or her passcode, the host must delete the submailbox and recreate it. All messages and greetings will be deleted. The passcode cannot be reset.

Message Alerts

While you’re away from home you can be notified in several different ways when new messages arrive.

You can receive a pager notification or a free text message on your Verizon

Wireless phone. If you have OnePoint

Voice Mail, you can also be notified at a telephone number you designate in your regional calling area.

Pager notification

Included with OnePoint Voice Mail at no additional charge but does require activation. Not available with all mailbox types in all areas. Activation is required and a charge

applies.

Pager Notification sends a signal to your pager when you have a message waiting in your mailbox. You can then call Home Voice Mail at your convenience to retrieve your message.

Pager Notification is available alone or in combination with other notification options. If your mailbox has other notification options, such as Reminder

Call or Wake Up Call, the set up will be different. There are additional differences with OnePoint Voice Mail.

Outcall notification

Multiple number Service

No charge for this feature but requires activation. Contact your local business office.
