No, the voice mail on your phone can only be deleted through your Cox Business voice service or a cell phone. We recommend that you delete all audio files after listening to them since these files are large and will decrease your email storage capacity. (Note: Voice Mail older than 31 days will automatically be deleted from the mailbox.) The voice mail message can be transcribed up to 90 seconds. You can call your voice mail number or play the .wav file to listen to the entire message. I checked the box to receive Text (or audio) but did not get the email. What happened?

Voicemails don’t necessarily have to be monotonous or extremely jazzy or funky. What you should be looking for is a balance between the two. Whenever you call someone and their voicemail greeting is playing, it tells you a lot about who they are, as a person. Which is why, you’ve got to put a little bit of “you” when it comes to voicemail. And the best part about all of this is, since you couldn’t come to the phone, at least the callers are having a good time listening to the message.

Also note, this system works over your NETWORK (not your phone wires). It will connect to up to 4 standard phone lines (or Internet-based VoIP service) but the connection between the phones and the UCM6204 "base" are done over a Ethernet NETWORK. The bad news is that if you only have phone lines running everywhere (2 or 4 wires only) then you will have to run new wiring. The good news is that if you already have a computer network and computers at each phone location, these phones can be connected to that existing network. (If you only have one network jack per location, the phones' built-in network switch lets you "pass" the network connection through the phone to your computer so both can be connected).
