Reminder and PhoneMail Messages
(Displaying and Answering)
The Siemens Communications Server can be set up to signal the user
when he or she has reminder or PhoneMail messages.
A reminder message indicates that someone has tried to reach the user
and wants him or her to call them back.
A PhoneMail message indicates that the user has received one or more
new messages on the PhoneMail system. The PhoneMail system is an
option that may or may not be a part of the communications server
system.
If a phone has a Mailbox key but not a PhoneMail (PHMAIL) key, the
Mailbox key will light up for any of these messages.
The user can scroll through his or her messages (on a display phone)
and then call back the party or system by pressing a single key.
If a phone has a PhoneMail (PHMAIL) key, it will light up for
PhoneMail messages.
If a phone has a PhoneMail key and a Mailbox key, the Mailbox key
will only light up for reminder messages.
The user can also gain access to specific messages by dialing
designated numbers.
For information about how to use the Mailbox key to leave a reminder
message, see “Mailbox Reminder Message” on page 5–26.
