Navigating MemoryCall

The best way to learn MemoryCall service is to experiment with it. Nothing you do can break MemoryCall service.

• Send yourself reminder messages while you're at home and retrieve them later.
• Put your co-workers on a distribution list. Record a message and send it to all at the same time.
• Access Personal Options and change them. (No changes you make are permanent - you can always correct them.) Personal Options you can change include password, greeting and notification schedule. You can also turn your notification or message waiting on or off using Personal Options.

NOTE: If Message Notification is on, a Notification Schedule must be in place for MemoryCall to notify you. Message Notification is preset off.

NOTE: If Message Waiting is off you will not receive a stutter dial tone or message waiting lamp to indicate you have new messages. Message Waiting is preset on.

Help

Press 0 if you need help, more explanations, or want more options. (If you don't press anything, MemoryCall service will repeat your options to help you.)

MemoryCall service may tell you, "Sorry you're having trouble." At that point, it may disconnect you. If you hear this, it is because you have exceeded a certain number of errors or have requested help (pressed 0) a number of times. MemoryCall service does this to allow as many users on the system as possible. Don't get discouraged; simply start again.

Cancel

Once you have sent a message, you cannot get it back. To cancel a message before it is sent, press # . You are then given the option to re-record the message.

Shortcuts

• Pressing the sequence 3 - 3 (Fast Forward to the end) and 7 (Erase) while listening to a message will move you immediately to the end of the message and delete it. This is useful if you receive "silent" messages, which occur when a caller hangs up rather than leaving a message. This also forwards you past the dial tone heard if a caller hangs up after leaving a message.
• You can enter several commands at once by entering all of the option numbers without waiting for prompts. This overrides the verbal instructions. For example, if you want to change your greeting, enter 4 - 3 - 1 - 2 .
• Press # to skip personal greetings and introductory prompts.
• Press # to skip a message you are reviewing.

You can do the following using *:

• Cancel what you are doing.
• Erase and re-record during recording.
• Re-enter a destination if you make a mistake.
• Back up to a previous menu while listening to a prompt.
• Disconnect from the Main Menu.

You can do the following using #:

• Skip personal greetings and introductory prompts.
• Skip a message you are reviewing.
• Send a message.
• Complete a step (tells MemoryCall you have finished entering your password, a telephone number, or a group list number).

Callers can interrupt the personal greeting in two ways:

• Press # to go directly to where they can record a message.
• Press 0 to be connected to your receptionist or secretary (if you have the dial 0 option).
