Voice Mail, Pages, and Text Messages
Depending on your service provider, your phone has a number of

Types of messages
Voice mail. With a voice mail feature, calls automatically go to
your voicemail when you don’t answer the phone. When you
receive a voice message, the voice mail system sends a notification
