Trying to listen to voicemail grettings.

I'm trying to find a way to listen to voicemail greetings on our phone system without actually calling up each individual phone and waiting for it to go to voicemail. I'm dug through the voicemail and system admin programing lists and haven't been able to find a way. I can see the name, listen to the company directory name, and change the greetings, but I want to be able to listen to the greetings without changing them. The reason for this is a number of our phones have old or incorrect voicemail greetings on them (also the not in office voicemail on some too) and I'm trying to figure out which ones. Thanks.

    Thanks, thats pretty much what I was trying to do. On off chance do you know of a way to listen to the alternate greeting (like when out of the office) too? Its not as big of a deal and I can just change the phone to that long enough to listen to it but it would but nice if there was a faster way.

If your talking about listening to the individual mailbox greetings without calling into the system then you could use feature 980 (leave message)
enter in the mailbox number you want to check and press ok.

    Unfortunately, the only way to listen to the alternates is to go into individual mailbox programming.

How do I record a mailbox greeting on Avaya 1408?

Hi Tourmaster,
I have these steps for you on how to do it. Hope it helps.

Mailbox Greeting While the voicemail system will play a generic greeting to caller, prompting them to leave a message, you can record your own greeting.
1. Press the key%20messages.zoom50.png MESSAGES button. Depending on how your system is configured, you may be required to enter your voicemail password and then press the Done soft key. The visual voice menu is displayed.
2.Use the up and down arrow keys to scroll to the option Greeting.
2.Press the Select soft key or OK.
3. Use the soft keys to listen to and record your mailbox greeting.
Listen
Listen to the current greeting or the new greeting just recorded.
Record
Record a new greeting. Note that the greeting must be at least 3 seconds long or the voicemail system will discard it.
More
Switch between the different sets of available soft key functions.
Submit
Submit the new recording as your mailbox greeting.
Delete
Delete your current mailbox greeting. The voicemail will use its default greeting.

Forgot unlock code voicemail kyocera jax

Go to this link...
http://www.virginmobileusa.com/resources/phones/prepaid/manual/kyocera-aw-jax.pdf

DOWNLOAD THE MANUAL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE!! LOL
Scroll down to page #39 to where it says Use Voicemail and follow the instructions!! As per the service tech I spoke to on the phone to find this link, following these instructions will automatically erase your old voicemail unlock code as well as any as yet unheard messages.


Just in case anyone still has difficulty in finding the instructions.....



Set Up your VoicemailBefore your phone can receive voicemail messages, you must set up a 4-10 digit passcode and record a personal voicemail greeting.When you have set up your voicemail, all unanswered calls to your phone are automatically transferred to voicemail, even if your phone is in use or turned off.1. Press and hold the 1 key.2. Follow the system prompts to create a password and record a greeting.
Check your Voicemail

When you receive a voicemail message, a
notification with a voicemail message icon
appears at the top of your screen.
• At the voicemail notification, select Call to call
your voicemail number and follow the system
prompts to retrieve the message.
Select Ignore to clear the notification without
checking messages. The notification icon
remains on top of the screen until you listen to
the message
• When only the voicemail message icon
appears on top of the screen, select
Voicemailand follow the system prompts
to retrieve the message.
Best of luck!!

Change voice mail message from one person to another person

Step 1 Lift the handset for your telephone and listen for the dial tone. Dial the access code you were given by Verizon when you signed up for residential telephone service. Dialing the access code will call the voicemail system. If you do not have an access code, you will need to call Verizon Customer Servicemag-glass_10x10.gif (see link in Resources).
  • Step 2 Identify the telephone number you are setting up voicemail services for. If you are calling from that telephone number, enter the temporary passcode and then press "#." The temporary passcode is the last 4 digits of your residential telephone number. If you are calling from a different phone, press "*" when the system greeting starts to play, then enter the 10-digit telephone number when prompted. After this, you will be asked to input the temporary passcode.
  • Step 3 Choose a new passcode. The passcode must be from 4 to 8 digits in length. It should be easy for you to remember, but difficult for others to guess. Do not use easy to guess numbers, such as 1234 or 1111. Also do not re-enter the same temporary passcode, since it will be easy for anyone to guess.
  • Step 4 Record your name. Simply say your name, without a long complicated message. This recording is used by the voicemail system to identify you whenever you forward a message to another user. It is not used as the standard greeting when a caller is directed to your voicemail to leave a message.
  • Step 5 Record or change your personal greeting. This greeting is played any time someone reaches your voicemail box. Record a friendly greeting to announce that you are unavailable and will return all calls upon your return.
    Decide if you want to set up a different mailbox for each family member. Verizon residential telephone service allows you to set up multiple mailboxes so that everyone can have his own private message center. Callers who reach voicemail will be prompted to press "1" to leave a message for one person, press "2" for the next person, and so on.
  • Step 6 Hang up the telephone. When you have finished setting up the voicemail system on your Verizon residential phone line, hang up the phone to end the call and exit the voicemail system.

    Lg phone net10 can't access voicemail

    Most voicmail systems can be connected to via land line. You do this by calling your cell phone waiting for it to go to voicemail then when you here the voice you press the * button. It should begin the routine to access your mail. I am not sure that this will result in anything different but it is worth a try.

    Nokia 5185

    In order to change your voicemail message you need to call into your voicemail system. Voicemail is not actually in the phone but a service where your calls are forwarded to. Most voicemail systems will play the main menu if you press the * key. One of them should be about a greeting. Check with your carrier for specifics.
