Voice Mail Instructions
Comporium Voice Mail answers your calls when you are away from your phone or on another call. Customers are notified of new messages by a half-ring or stutter (broken) dial tone when the phone receiver is picked up. Additional notification options are also available, such as e-mail notifications of new voice mails and the option to have audio files of voice mails sent to an e-mail account.
All messages in your mailbox are accessible with a special user-defined pass code and only available to those whom you give access. Additional options are now available to Comporium voice mail customers such as the ability to save, delete, or reply to messages during message review, configure voice mail settings via web portal, forward messages to other Comporium voice mail users, along with many others.
