Phones are assigned to people or to office names. For example a phone could show “MAU Plaza” or it could show a user’s name. If the phone is assigned to you, it will have your UNI email address associated with it. There are various kinds of voicemail greeting options in the new UNI Voicemail system. When you initialize your voicemail box for the first time, the system has you set up two of your default greetings, which consists of your (external) personalized greeting and your name greeting. You can access your greetings via phone or via the UNI voicemail web portal.
