Voice Mail
Setting Up a Distribution List
VoiceMail gives you step-by-step
recorded instructions every time you dial into the system. Once you
are comfortable using VoiceMail, you can proceed without listening
to all the instructions each time. If you ever have any questions
or problems with your VoiceMail, you can call the JMU Telecom
Office at 568.6471 for assistance.
PLEASE NOTE: Check
and clear your messages regularly. In order to continue collecting
messages, your VoiceMail will automatically delete unplayed messages
after 2 weeks, and played messages will be deleted after 1 week.
DIAL 84411 from your
phone.
VoiceMail will respond with:
"Hello (your name), please enter your
passcode."
