Setting Up Your Voicemail

1. First time sign-in and set up can be done in 3 easy steps: first you must create your own PIN (Personal Identification Number), then you will record your recorded name, then finally you will create a greeting to play for callers before they leave a message.
    
2. To start, press *99 from your Westman home phone. Listen to the recorded instructions and follow the set-up prompts.
    
3. A PIN must be created for your account security. A prompt will ask you to enter your desired PIN and will tell you the length of PIN allowed. Confirm your PIN by re-entering it and pressing #.
    
4. Next, record your name. This will be used for system generated announcements (i.e. greeting callers or when you leave a message for others). When you have finished recording your name press #. If you want to re-record it, press 1. Then press # when you want to keep the recorded name.
    
5. Finally, you will be prompted to select a greeting. You have a few options to choose from:
   • -Press 1 to record your own personal greeting.
   • -Press 2 to use a system-generated greeting that announces your recorded name.
   • -Press 3 to use a system-generated greeting that reads out your phone number.
   • -Press 4 to use a system-generated greeting that neither announces your name nor reads out your phone number.
      
6. An announcement will play back your chosen personal greeting. If you would like to change it press 1. Press # to save it and use it as your greeting.
