About Message Notification

Cisco Unity Connection can call a phone or pager to notify you of new messages.

You can turn notification on and off, and change notification phone numbers for your home phone, work

phone, mobile phone, and a pager.

If you are using the Messaging Assistant web tool, you have more options and more notification devices

available there. See Help in the Messaging Assistant.

Changing Notification Phone Numbers

You can change the notification number for your home phone, work phone, mobile phone, and a pager.

For phone numbers inside your organization, enter an extension. For external phone numbers, begin with any

access code needed to make an external call (for example, 9). For long-distance numbers, include the applicable

dialing codes (for example, 1 and the area code). Use the # key to add 1-second pauses, as necessary.
