The use of voice mail has grown exponentially since its introduction in 1991 at Eastern Washington University. You are in control of how and when your callers reach your Voice Mailbox. You can have callers forwarded directly to your mailbox by programming the call forwarding on your phone. Or, if you prefer to have a person screen your calls, that person can offer callers the option to leave a message in your mailbox and transfer them to your personal greeting.
Voice mailboxes are password protected.
You should change your voice mail password on a regular basis. Faculty and staff voice mailboxes are provided as a business resource and the university information policy as well as other applicable state and federal laws must be followed when using voice mail services. Through consultation and support, we help you find the best option for the way you handle your calls. Personal Voice Mail is an automated, password protected messaging service that allows people to exchange messages at any time of day, from any touch-tone telephone. Service types for university faculty and staff include Basic, Enhanced, and Guest voice mailboxes.
