One of the first steps you should perform after receiving your phones
is personalizing your voicemail greeting. This is the message that
plays when you miss a call before the caller leaves a message.
If you do not set up your greeting, the default message will say “The
person at extension xxx is not available. Please record your message
after the tone and press any key or stop talking to end the recording.”
How to Configure Voicemail
- Press the mail button on the phone if you have a Yealink Phone (or dial *97 on other devices)
- Enter your PIN followed by #
- Press 5 for advanced options
- Press 1 to record a greeting
- Press number from 1 – 9 to choose greeting
- Record your greeting message
- Press 1 to listen to recording, press 2 to save recording or 3 to re-record
Congratulations, your voicemail is now setup!
