Set up Extension Voicemail

This topic introduces voicemail feature and describes how to set up voicemail for an extension.

Background information

Yeastar P-Series PBX System supports voicemail feature, which helps users receive audio messages when they are unavailable to answer calls. When you create an extension, the voicemail feature is enabled by default, and a 4-digit PIN code is randomly generated for accessing voicemail.

You can retain default settings, or change the following settings according to your needs.
