Voice Mail (Answering Machine)

The Skype Gateway has an integrated answering machine (implemented in software on the PC). It can be configured to answer incoming Skype and/or PSTN(land-line) calls after a configurable number of rings. The user can call into the Gateway from any remote phone to hear and manage their voice mail. The AU-600 Gateway voice mail service is free (no subscription).

The Gateway's comes with a default greeting message. You may record your own greeting message (either locally using the handset or remotely through administrative remote mode). When you have new, unheard voice mail the Gateway plays a special dial tone (with beeps every three seconds). If you have no new voice mail, the dial tone is a normal continuous tone.

 

Managing Voice Mail

You can access the voice mail system to configure it or to listen to messages in two ways:

• Locally- through the phone connected directly to the Gateway.
• Remotely- from any phone, dial the Gateway's land-line phone number. Then press '*', then enter your PIN # followed by '*'. You will be given options to navigate through your voice mail ("to listen to your local voice messages, please press 1", etc.) See the Interactive Voice Response flow chart for more details on accessing the voice mail system from a remote phone.

You can access voice mail only when there are no other Skype or PSTN call in progress.
