New Voicemail Setup Instructions

Voicemail Setup Instructions

First Time Setup

NOTE: If you stop before completing the First Time Setup, you will be forced to change your voicemail security code again.

To use the new voicemail system, you must first set up the mailbox. This only takes a few moments to do. 

  • Dial 18002 from your desk phone  (NOTE: From someone else's office extension or from outside of your office, press  *#  followed by your extension)
  • When prompted, "Please enter security code", use the temporary code: 12346
  • Create a new security code (click here to see security code guidelines)
  • Record your name (press 2 to start, press 2 when completed)
  • Record your greeting (press 2 to start, press 2 when completed). (Example: You have reached the office of [your name]. I am currently unavailable.  Please leave your name, number and a brief message and I'll return your call as soon as possible.)
  • Listen to the brief instructions.

Once you've finished recording your greeting, your mailbox is set up.  By default, your voicemail has been set up to deliver an email (with the attached wav file) to your email address you provided when it was  requested.  If you would like to opt out of this email delivery, please see this article for instructions.  Your email address will still be retained in our system so you can perform the self service security code reset but email will no longer be delivered to your email account.

      (NOTE: You can only use this feature if your email address has been previously recorded in our voicemail system -- contact the IT Service Desk @ 405-325-HELP [4357] if you receive a message indicating an email could not be sent)
