Yealink SIP-T48U – Voicemail Access, PIN, Configuration, and Prompts

When receiving a new voicemail the phone will play a tone and the power indicator LED will slowly flash red. The screen will prompt with the number of new voicemails and and a   icon at the status bar with a counter indicating the number of new messages.

Configuration

Before listening to voicemails, you need to make sure the voicemail access code has been configured. Alternatively you can use a Telebroad system code dialed from your phone or remotely to listen to your voicemails and access voicemail options (such as greetings and PIN).  

To configure the voicemail access codes:

• Tap    and navigate to Message>Set Voice Mail.
  
  
• Enter *1 (the voicemail access code) in the desired account field.
  
  You can tap the IME soft key to select the proper input mode.
  
  
  
  

• Tap the Save soft key to accept the change or   to cancel.

Accessing Voicemail Messages

After you have configured the access code you can listen to your voicemails. 

To listen to voicemails:

• Do one of the following:
  
  
  • When the screen prompts that the phone receives a new voicemail, you can press    or tap the Connect soft key dial out the voicemail access code.
    
    
  • Tap the icon when the phone is idle to open a dialog box and tap the Connect soft key.
    
    
  • Tap    and navigate to Message>View Voice Mail.
    
    The screen displays the number of new and old voicemails for each account.
    
    Tap an account to listen to voicemails.
    
    
    
    
• Follow the voice prompts from the system (see next) and, if requested, enter your mailbox PIN.
  
  You can change the PIN from the mailbox options by pressing 0 (see below), or from the Admin Center Voicemail Settings. The latter can help you if you forget your PIN.
  
  
• After you have listened to all new messages the power LED indicator will go off.

Voice Prompts 

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.
    
    
  • 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.)
    
    Note that folders are available only in the voice prompts system. They do not appear in the TeleConsole!
    
    
  • 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 0-9 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 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".)

    • 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, 3 to delete it, or * to return to the previous menu.
