Cisco Voicemail Guide


Message Waiting Lights and Envelope Indicators
If you have a voicemail box on a personal line and you have a message waiting, you will see a flashing envelope next to the line button; you will also see a solid red light on your handset.  If you have a shared voicemail box on your phone, you will only see the flashing envelope icon when there is a message waiting in that mailbox
