Check for your personal voicemail messages

To check if you have new voicemail messages, look for one of these signs:

  • The light strip on your handset is solid red.

  • The number of missed calls and voicemail messages is displayed on your screen. If you have more than 99 new messages, a plus (+) sign is displayed.

  • An exclamation mark (!) indicates urgent voicemail messages.
