Voicemail Indicators
Your VVX 601 phone may indicate new voicemail messages by:
- A message counter in the Home View. The counter indicates the number of new messages you have.
- A message counter in the status bar.
If you have new messages, the
message icon also displays next to the phone line in Lines view.
To temporarily remove these message indicators, tap and tap Message Center (or tap Messages from Home view followed by Message Center) and tap Clear. After some time – usually about an hour or two— the message indicators will appear again. - A flashing Message Waiting Indicator, located at the top-right of your phone.
- An audible alert (if your phone is on-hook).
Accessing Voicemail Messages
To listen to voicemail messages do one of the following:
- On the status bar, tap and tap Message Center.
Or, from the Home view, tap Messages, and tap Message Center. - If multiple lines are configured on your phone, the Line Select screen displays.
Tap the line that has the message. - From the Messages screen, press Connect.

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

The folders are always listed in this order and you select them by pressing the 0-9 and * keys. The actual key that corresponds to a folder changes slightly depending on which folder you are currently in.
