Addressing by name

You can enter an address by spelling a person’s name on your telephone keypad instead
of entering a number. Name Addressing can be used for addressing a message, for
creating a distribution list, for Express Messaging, and for Thru-Dialing.

1 When Meridian Mail Voice Messaging prompts you for a mailbox number, enter the

Name Addressing prefix.

4 If you don’t know the prefix, press *.

2 Spell the last name, then the first name.

4 For Q, press 7; for Z, press 9. For example, to reach Quinn, Bob, dial 78466262.
4 If you don’t know the complete name, enter the first few letters, then press #. Select

from the list of possible matches for the name.

You can stop spelling the name as soon as the system announces a match. You do
not have to press #. The message is automatically addressed with the mailbox
number for this name.

3 If the name is part of a list of addresses, continue to enter addresses. When you are

finished, press # to end the list.
