Cómo comenzar

Learn the essentials to start using Connected Voice. 

Connected Voice service works just like any phone service. Once the initial setup is done, you simply connect your phone(s) and you're ready to go!
 
Make a call: When you want to make a call, just pick up your handset and dial the number you want to call.
 
Take a call: When a call comes in, all handsets connected to your Connected Voice adapter will ring. Just pick up and answer, and the call will be connected.

1. Access your mailbox: To set up your voicemail, press *98 from your Connected Voice or call your 10-digit Connected Voice number. This is also how you access your mailbox to check messages or make changes at any time. Las indicaciones de voz te guiarán en cada uno de los pasos.

2. Create a PIN: Pick a number between 4 and 15 digits long. Asegúrate de anotarlo, ya que lo necesitarás para acceder a tus mensajes en el futuro.

3. Record a name to identify your mailbox: Be as specific or general as you like. For instance, "The Lee Family" or "Skylar, Taylor, and the bunch." This is only the name, so don't record an entire greeting here. 

4. Elige un saludo: puedes grabar tu propio saludo o utilizar uno de los saludos incorporados.

  • Press 1 to select the standard greeting with your phone number: At the tone, please record your message to [number].

  • Press 2 for the standard greeting with your name as you recorded it in the previous step: At the tone, please record your message to [name].

  • Press 3 to record a personalized greeting up to three minutes long. For example: Hi, you've reached the Lee family. We're out at the moment. Leave us a message at the beep.

Your Connected Voice service will not work to dial 911 in the event of a power outage unless you you have a battery backup. Please read more about the importance of getting respaldo de batería to ensure you have emergency access from your digital phone service.

Scroll down to the Call Handling section. Instead of using number of rings, the sytstem follows a timeout rule in seconds. Each ring cycle is approximately 6 seconds. Set the Timeout number according to these guidelines: 

1 ring = 6 seconds

2 rings = 15 seconds

3 rings = 20 seconds

4 rings = 25 seconds
