About the answering system
Answering system and voicemail indicators
Your telephone has separate indicators for two different types of voice
messages: those recorded on its built-in answering system and those recorded
in your service provider’s voicemail (fees may apply). Your telephone’s built-in
answering system messages and voicemail messages are separate. Each alerts
you to new messages differently.

Some service providers bundle or combine multiple services like voicemail and
call waiting, so you may not be aware that you have voicemail. To check what
services you have and how to access them, contact your telephone
service provider.

Using the answering system and voicemail together
You can also use your telephone answering system and voicemail together
by setting your built-in answering system to answer before voicemail answers
as described below. To learn how to program your voicemail settings, contact
your telephone service provider. Then, if you are on a call, or if the answering
system is busy recording a message and you receive another call, the second
caller can leave a voicemail message.

caller can leave a voicemail message.
Set your answering system to answer calls at least two rings earlier than your
voicemail is set to answer. For example, if your voicemail answers after six
rings, set your answering system to answer after four rings. Some voicemail
providers may program the delay before answering calls in seconds instead of
rings. In this case, allow six seconds per ring when determining the
appropriate setting.
