Poly VVX 301/311 – Voicemail Indicators, Access, and Voice Prompts


Voicemail Indicators


Your phone may indicate new voicemail messages by the following:


  •  A message in the status bar. The message indicates the number of new messages you have. The count is a total of all messages on all lines on the phone.



  •  A flashing Message Waiting Indicator, located at the top-right of your phone.
     
  • An audible alert (if your phone is on-hook).

You can temporarily remove the message counter. To do so press   and select Message Center and press the Clear soft key. The message indicators will disappear for an hour or two.

Voice Prompts 


Your voicemails are categorized into folders that you can select or move messages between.


Note that folders are available only in the voice prompts system. They do not appear in any of the TeleConsole clients!


The following is a list of all the voice prompts you can use while listening to your voicemails:




  • Press 1 to play the first message in the current folder. The default folder is New Messages. If you don't have new messages the default folder is Old Messages.

    During the message playback you can press * at any time to replay it from the beginning (without the envelope).

    During or after the message playback you can do any of the following:

    • Press to go back to the first message in the folder.

    • Press 2 to change the folder.

      Initially just two folders are available – press 1 for New or 2 for Old.

      New folders become available as you move or copy messages into them (see option 8 below.)

    • Press 3 to play the envelope of the message – date, time, caller's name or number, and duration.

      You can select what you want to play from the voicemail settings of the TeleConsole Web version or from the admin portal (Features>Mailboxes).

    • Press 4 for the previous message or 6 for the next one.

    • Press 5 to replay the message (including the envelope).

    • Press 7 to delete the message (be warned that no additional prompt is given before deletion is performed. So be careful!)

    • Press 8 to move/copy the voicemail message to a different folder and select one of the message folders – Deleted, Urgent, New, Old, Work, Family, Friends, Customer 1, Customer 2, Customer 3, Customer 4, and Customer 5.

      The folders are always listed in this order and you select them by pressing the 0-and keys. The actual key that corresponds to a folder changes slightly depending on which folder you are currently in. So 2 may be for either New or Old and 3 may be for either Work or New etc. Just listen to the prompts.

      Now press 1 to move the message, 2 to copy it, or  * to cancel.

    • Press 9 to forward the message to another mailbox. Enter the mailbox number and press #.

      Press 1 to move the message to the mailbox, 2 to copy it, 3 to add another destination mailbox, or * to cancel.

    • Press 0 for mailbox options (see below.)

  • Press 2 to change the folder.

    Initially just two folders are available – press 1 for New or 2 for Old.

    New folders become available as you move or copy messages into them (see option 8 above.)

  • Press 0 for mailbox options:

    • Press 1 to create or change your Unavailable Greeting (played when you don't answer your phone.)

      Press 2 to create or change your Busy Greeting (played when you are on another call.)

      Press 4 to create or change your Name (played if the Unavailable Greeting is not set up. The system will play your name followed by saying "is unavailable".)

      For all the greetings:
       
      • If there is no prior greeting recording you will be prompted to press 1 to record a new one or * to return to the previous menu.

        Press # to end the recording. You will be prompted to press 1 to rerecord the greeting, 2 to listen to it, to delete it, or * to return to the previous menu.

    • Press 5 to create or change your voicemail PIN (Personal Identification Number to secure access to the mailbox.) You will be prompted to enter your new PIN followed by # and reenter it for verification. If both entries match the PIN will be updated.
