Voice Mail Tips Put You in the Driver's Seat

Voice mail has features that can help you retrieve your messages more easily. Whether you need to slow a message down or pause in the middle of listening to one, you can do that--and more--by pressing the appropriate telephone key.

Adjusting for Speed

When listening to your messages, you can adjust the speed for fast-or slow-talking callers by using these two keys:

[4] Slow down the message

[6] Speed up the message

Hearing Your Caller

These two keys let you adjust for soft-spoken callers:

[9] Increase the volume

[8] Return to normal volume

Getting Around Quickly

Going backward or forward as you listen to your message can be as easy as 1, 2, 3:

[1] Rewind part way

[1][1] Rewind to beginning

[2] Pause and restart

[3] Fast forward part way

[3][3] Fast forward to end

[#] Skip to the next message

If you know what you want to do, you can press these keys in quick succession:

[3][3][7] Fast forward to end of message and delete it

[3][3][9] Fast forward to end of message and save it (or return it to archives)
