If you have a voicemail box on your home phone, a new voicemail box will replace your current mailbox. Please note the following changes and actions required before September 12th (Davidson area) and September 19th (Mooresville area).
- Download and save important voicemails ASAP. Any saved messages in your current voicemail box will no longer be accessible. Please make sure you record any important voicemails to another device using a recording feature.
Play your voicemail on speakerphone in front of a tape recorder or recording software on your computer (Audacity is free to download), phone or tablet. iPhones have the voice recorder app, and many Android devices have a similar app (or search the app store). Final step is to listen to the recording make sure you can understand it.
- Set up your new voicemail box
After the conversion, you can access your voicemail by pressing *95 from your phone. Setup your own voice greeting or use our default greeting by dialing *95. Follow the prompts to record your greeting and enter a new voicemail PIN.
