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 1 to go back to the first message in the folder.
