Getting Started with 3CX Voicemail

Voicemail Menu Extension Number: This is the number to dial to access Voicemail. It is typically set to 999. Check with your provider if that doesn’t work. You will be asked to enter your personal identification number if you have that set up by your administrator.If you do not have the PIN ask your administrator to send you the 3CX welcome email.PIN can be found in 3CX welcome email.

When you access your mailbox, you will be told whether you have any messages waiting, and then you are at the Main Menu and should hear the list of available options which are:

Main Menu

Change PIN Number

This is where you can set or change your PIN.

Even though the menu option uses the annoying phrase “PIN Number” (you don’t need the word number, that’s what the N in PIN stands for!), the rest of the prompts (at least in the default English) refer to your PIN Code!

When prompted, enter a new PIN and then press hash.

Your new PIN will be read back to you and if it is correct, press star to save or press hash to cancel and return to the Main Menu.

Change Your Greeting Message

Your greeting message is what callers hear when they reach your mailbox. Generally it is considered good practice to identify yourself and provide clear instructions for your callers. For example, “Hi. You’ve called Rob at IT Networks. I’m sorry I am unable to take your call. Please leave your name and contact number and I will return your call as soon as possible”.

0	Record new Greeting Message Follow the prompt to record a new message and press # when done. You then have the options to save the message by pressing 0, re-record it by pressing 1, listen to the recording by pressing 2 or press # to exit and discard changes.
1	Restore Standard Message
2	Check Current Greeting Message
9	Repeat this prompt
