There are three ways to get into voicemail. The first and easiest
is when the message light is blinking on your phone. By pressing
this message key, the system automatically dials voicemail
(x5000)*. Second, you may dial “5000” from anywhere on campus, be
prompted for your extension # and password, and get into
voicemail. The third and final way is by dialing from off campus,
(253)536-5000. You will be prompted for your extension # and
password.
Setting Up Your Voice Mailbox
To access your voice mailbox, dial ext. 5000 (on campus), OR 536-5000 (off-campus).
When you access your mailbox for the first time, a user tutorial is
automatically activated. This tutorial will guide you through
your first mailbox session. After you hear the main greeting,
press #, plus your mailbox number (extension). The temporary
passcode you will enter is 0000.
When you first access voice mail, you will be asked to do 3 things:
1. Set your own Security Code (passcode). Do NOT use the temporary passcode as your new passcode.
2. Record your Name.
3. Record your Greeting.
We encourage you to set up your voice mailbox on the new system as soon
as possible. If you receive a busy signal, which means that all
available lines are in use while others are setting up their mailboxes,
please try again.
Accessing Your Voice Mailbox After Setup
From Your Phone:
Dial voice mail: Ext. 5000 (or press the 'msg waiting' button on your phone)
You will be prompted for your security code
From Another Phone on Campus:
Dial voice mail: Ext. 5000
Press * then # plus your mailbox number (extension).
From Off-campus:
Dial 536-5000
At any time during the greeting, press # plus your mailbox number.
Changing Your Password or Greeting
To change the personal options you set up when you first accessed your voice mailbox:
Once you have accessed your voice mailbox, press 3 (for Phone Manager), and then press 1 for Personal Options.
