User guide

(Note: The actual text of an email or any attachments will not appear in the pager display. Also,
pager service providers may format their notifications differently. Therefore, the pager
notifications you receive may not appear exactly like the examples shown above.)
If you select the second option to have your mailbox page your pager number directly, you’ll be
able to choose which telephone number is displayed in your pager when a message is left in your
Voice Mail mailbox. We recommend you use the access number as the callback number. This
way, when you receive a page, you’ll see the telephone number you’re to call (access number) to
retrieve your messages over the phone.
Learn how to turn your message notification on and off in the next section of this User
Guide.
Email Notification
For message notifications by email, you’ll need to use a different email address than your Voice
Mail mailbox. Email notification comes in handy when you’re at work and want to know when new
messages arrive at your mailbox at home.
Email notification is similar to pager notification. You’ll get an email with the message type, the
message header, and a date and time stamp.
