Last Updated : Feb 09, 2024 |

About this task

You can create up to 20 mailing lists for your mailbox. Each mailing list can contain up to 360 mailbox numbers. Once a list has been created, it can be used to send and forward messages using the telephone. The list can also be changed or deleted using the telephone.

Procedure

  1. Log in to your mailbox. See Logging In.
  2. Press 5 for personal options.
  3. Press 1 for mailing list options.
  4. Press 1 to create a new mailing list.
  5. Enter a number to identify the list and then press #.
    • The list identifying number must be less than 6 digits long. If the number is too long or already in use, voicemail prompts you to enter a different number followed by #.

  6. Mark the list as private or public:
    • To mark a list a private, press 1. A private list can only be used by you.

    • To mark a list as public, press 2. A public list can be used by other users.

  7. When prompted, start adding mailboxes to the mailing list. To add a mailbox, enter the mailbox number and press #. For local mailboxes the name of mailbox user is confirmed. You can also select the following options while you add mailboxes:
    • Press *2 to switch to selecting mailboxes by name.

    • Press *5 to import the contents of another public mailbox list.

      • You are asked to enter the mailbox number of the list owner followed by # and then the list number followed by #.

      • If the mailbox or list is not valid or the list is private, you are returned to the option for creating a mailbox list in the usual way.

      • If the list exists and is public, its contents are imported as long as importing does not result in a list of more than 360 entries. Any duplicate entries are automatically removed.

  8. Press # to finish.
